Once the island drained, which happens quite rapidly, I started working on the motors. I got rained out a couple mornings but was back to work in the afternoons. My feet were wet most of the week I feared of getting trench foot.
I must be crazy to attempt this project. There were several problems that have to be solved to get everything to work. So it was the same thing again and again. Nothing is easy on a boat. Everything is complex and difficult. There are no easy answers. I suffered from acute frustration most of the week and left early when I couldn't get the several projects out of my head. I tried to concentrate on one thing at a time but my brain wanted to solve everything at once thus causing a massive implosion and the necessity for beer.
I still don't know if any of this will work. We will find out in next week's blog.
