Hi Speedy,

It is the old deal...ballast and trim, I fear. Psalm has no water tank in the bow, consequently, her tang is about an inch out of the water. May I suggest more rum, gin, and tonic water be stored in the lazarette?

Sweet sailing to you...

Bob

The other day I noticed my pressure water system wasn't working....about the time my wife wanted a shower at a remote anchorage.

After coming home, I spent half an hour troubleshooting the system and discovered there was no water in my 50 gallon system!

So, I filled all of tanks, knocking her out of trim. [for cruising, her stern would be much heavier, so it would all balance] This is when I notice the water coming in.

So the next day [last eve] I arrived at the marina armed with sika-flex [we can't get a better sealant here] and low and behold no leak! Seems the over-filled tanks had vented to the hoses located above the stem. Sheesh! I need to quit fixing things that aren't broke!
