This was Canada Day, the Canadian Independence Day. We slept in until 8 am and enjoyed listening to the light rain around us. The temperatures were cool so we picked out a project to work on for the morning. And the Winner was: Find the leak causing the loss in water pressure making the pump run every minute or so. The galley sink was pulled out and things were tightened up there, both the shower in the head and the shower in the cockpit were checked and all hose clamps on all water lines were tightened. We then emptied the aft cabin where the water pump and all the hoses come through, removed and reinstalled the water filter and checked for leaks. And while we were at it, we adjusted the drain hose for the air conditioning unit so that it had a better angle for draining. Hopefully, the problem is fixed!

Our project of the day ended up taking a lot more time than we expected but at 4 pm we were ready to do some fishing. Gale caught a really nice Northern but we lost it as we were trying to haul it in with the net. Not to worry, there were two wonderful bass to follow, a large mouth and a “smallie.” Maureen caught the biggest fish of the day: a 15-pound dogfish. Boy, was that an ugly fish! He went back into the water.
