Getting back on SVDreamchaser | We were Careless and Deb got Injured

We go over to Seaside Heights Boardwalk and also visit an excellent little seafood restaurant, but the big news is that I get to fly home and see the family again. When I landed in New Orleans, Deb, Whitney, and Swab met me at the airport with a big ole sign welcoming me home. It was great to hug all their necks. Chaz didn't come to the airport because she was over at one of her friend's houses visiting before we move to Florida. As you can imagine, moving at 13 feels life-altering, so we want to allow her that time to say goodbye. When back on board, we install some new bilge pumps. SVDreamChaser had 3 in it, but the third one was not working. The first two did, but if we were going to be away from the boat for some time, I wanted to be very sure about bilge pumps. We ended up installing three new ones to be safe. Our primary is a Rule 2000 gph - https://amzn.to/2EZAiHp Our secondary is an 1100 gallons per hour pump - https://amzn.to/2K4gLtr And our big safety net is a 3700 gallons per hour pump - https://amzn.to/2MQzNG3 We then put in a new primary unit with a smaller Rule that is a lower profile, but I would not recommend this one. Rather than a float switch, it kicks on at a particular frequency, and if it detects water being pumped, it continues, if not it turns off. That seems like a lot of wear and tear when it is not needed. - https://amzn.to/2EZbgrY Join us next week when head toward Florida. And don't forget to check out our Blog at http://svdreamchaser.com.

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.
