Play today's song (above) if you care to.
When you live on a boat, the sound of flowing water is never good.
A sailor's ear becomes exquisitely attuned
to all the subtle sounds
that water makes when it is moving.
It could even wake you up!
If water is finding it's way inside,
a trip to the dry dock is indicated-
Or you might sink!
Of course it took no special skills to notice the flowing river
in our engine room yesterday.
Were pumps and panic in my immediate future?
I'm happy to tell you that we had a plumbing issue.
YaY!
In fact I've never been so happy to have a
"mere"
plumbing issue!
So our life afloat is going swimmingly. . .
er, that is: I won't need to swim for now.
And next time you have some maintenance issue at YOUR place
just remember, it could always be worse.
At least you probably won't sink
and if you REALLY loved the song, here is a video of same:
CC, so glad you didn't sink!
ReplyDeleteWhat a song... :)
ReplyDeleteAloha from Casa!
Yeah, water sounds when you're on the water, are never soothing. You do have to develop another sense, don't you? We just think it is so romantic, swaying with the water.
ReplyDeleteHope your plumbing problem doesn't send you on land permanently.
Wow! I love these photos, especially the first and second one!
ReplyDeleteStunning!
Big hugs+Aloha!

Whew! Just wet feet, eh? I figured your boat had some plumbing, but didn't know it had a reservoir big enough to cause a flood. Keep that kayak handy! Aloha, DrumMajor
ReplyDeleteThat puts a whole new light of hearing running water Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteWe took our boat out this past weekend but we dont live on it!

Nice to see YOU! Thanks
ReplyDeleteAlways two hand full of water beneath your keel.

Very glad that it was just a plumbing problem Cloudia. No, didn't want to see you swimming unless you were doing it for fun.

Yes, true, I will not sink. I do sometimes wonder, given that we live on karst land (sink holes, caves and springs) if the earth might not someday swallow up my house, but it hasn't happened yet.
ReplyDeleteWe do have quite a few people who occasionally get the Ohio River in their living rooms, but thankfully, not me.
So glad that it wasn't more serious. Thank you for your sweet comment today!
ReplyDeleteYou are living the life I have always dreamed about - plumbing issues and all.
ReplyDeleteThank You
ReplyDeleteWe had a plumbing issue today, too, but all it meant was that I couldn't do my laundry before school. Now I have to wait for the weekend...
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you're still afloat and that Miss Kitty is not fish food.
