Getting There

Been in for 72 hours now and the hull has taken up nicely, with very little water coming into the bilges now. We have continued working on systems and Rick has been focussed entirely on readying the rig. At this stage the mizzen will be going in on Monday.

Have been checking all the pumps on the engines etc. All good except the engine-driven emergency bilge pump wasn't throwing any water. Opened it up and here's why:

Won't be moving much water with that. Fortunately this is the only bit of total neglect we have found with the major systems so far.
