Sunday April 28, 2019 - Genoa Bay to Russell Island

Greg was up early so he could keep Bob company as they returned the rental car. Bella's eye was quite bad still and then just as they were about to leave, we heard the bilge pump go off twice in a row. Greg said "That can't be good" and he was right. He looked down into the engine room and the aft head bellows had broken and the last "flush" had instead gone straight into the bilge. And it made a huge mess everywhere!

So Bob went by himself and Greg changed into his work clothes and dug into cleaning up and repairing the mess. We carry a spare Vacuflush unit so he dug it out and removed the broken unit and put the new one in. With a WHOLE lot a cleaning up before, during, and after. Bob helped out when he returned as well. I looked after Bella and kept her out of the way. Which was nothing at all because she just stayed sleeping in her corner and wouldn't walk around because she was still feeling bad. So not exactly a great morning.

By 11:00, Greg had it all taken care of and we were underway. We headed over to Russell Island to anchor. Right after we anchored one of the boats that was there left and opened up a closer spot so then we re-anchored closer. Dinghies down and we went up into Fulford Harbour.



Had to have good coffee at Rock Salt. Went for a walk around town and into the Mercantile store.

Lovely evening at Russell Island.
