Loyal started getting breakfast this norning but not because it was that he remembered it was Mothers day. None of them remembered until I told them. Loyal was just hungry and today besides he doesn't like the way I cook bacon. He likes it raw. Just drug through the grease.
Today the coffee took one hour to make and when it was done Grandpa was glad to get his but found out after he tasted his that it was made with salty seawater.
So now we start on another pot but make it with the camp stove. If something on this ship doesn't start functioning properly this cook is going to mutiny. To get fresh water we flip a switch on a panel on the wall in living quarters run to the sink turn the faucet on (cold of course) and half the time you get air. When a spurt of water comes it is with such force it knocks the pitcher from your hand. then go turn off the water pump switch again. (a leak in the line) Grandpa found his glasses finally. Nobody that lays anything down can ever find it again. Because there isn't a place for anything yet. Loyal just skinned a large rock very close. He misread the chart. We brush our teeth in seawater too.
Grandpa just found a two and half pound loaf of cheese in his belongings. That's going to help out because we are almost out of all fresh things. One egg left. It's so dark in the kitchen of this boat you have to look like MaGoo to salt and pepper food or see if it is boiling.
We had the generator working a couple times enough to get a 12 volt light bulb to burn for a couple hours and use the electric razor twice but they don't hook it up unless it's necessary so no light. We use candles to embroider and read. Since the stove is in the dark you cant do much if you try. To keep warm you sit by the stove.
