New Shower Sump Project, Shot with a rubber pellet & Head to Australia

In this episode we started with a decent plan to replace the drain (gray water) lines from the Forward shower and sink to a shower sump. When we bought the boat the shower drained to the bilge and the sink went directly overboard in the forward head. That was fine for the sink, but I am not a fan of the shower draining into the bilge as you get hair and soap scum in that part of the boat. I don't want to chance either of those things causing an issue with a bilge pump that is critical to the safety of the boat. So it was with this goal we started to design and install it but I received fairly short notice of a need for a business trip to Melbourne Australia. This video is the start of the shower sump, the start of my trip to Melbourne and a little bit of video of Chasity at a birthday party where they did indoor paintball shooting at each other. It looked like fun and then I caught her getting shot by one on film. 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. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "How to repair a wooden mast, boom, spar or Bulkhead (Step by Step) " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nxr-yxUjvQ -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
