May 15, 2019-Work of Art

We have a faucet at our galley sink (one of three) for salt water which we use for washing when we are out cruising.

It broke.

I took it out and tried to fix it, but decided it was not repairable.

But we still needed to have some way to run salt water in the sink; it’s an important way to conserve fresh water while away from the dock.

After rummaging around in the plumbing parts bin I was able cobble together this work of art.

Temporary Faucet

Then I ordered a new faucet which arrived in La Cruz a few days later, and we picked it up when we went down there for a couple of nights. That was a week ago. We’re still using the temporary one.
