SDA100 Cat Island, Dolphin and Shower Pump Repair

In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel, the weather chases us out of beautiful Conception Island. We sail up to Cat Island, where we're greeted by a beautiful dolphin. That's where we take advantage of over a week of bad weather by fixing our Shurflo Blaster II shower drain pump. This is not a good place to be in a west wind. 00:00 Introduction 00:30 Sailing to Cat Island from Conception Island, Bahamas 04:49 Dolphin Greeting! 06:11 Why the west wind is safer at Cat Island, even though it's unprotected by land 08:01 uncomfortable anchorage calms down 09:31 trumpet fish scares the locals 10:06 low-tech laundry 10:45 remove faulty shower sump pump Shurflo Blaster II 4238-121-E07 12 VDC 7.5 MAX 3.5 GPM 13.2 LPM 14:34 hairy pump 14:46 install refurb pump 17:53 tear down old pump 20:02 busted magnet 20:40 cost of replacement pump motor 21:14 solution 21:36 finally ashore! 22:01 why it's time to leave Cat Island 22:59 close and patrons list Enjoy our Bahamas snorkeling article in the summer issue of Latitudes and Attitudes magazine https://summer2023.latsatts.com/theresthisplace#a_aid=640782a615fd9&a_bid=0e47bed1 Watch for our Rum review coming in the fall issue.
