September 11
Brad called at 02:45 after 2 hours sleep to say bilge alarm
ringing in the forward cabin so lift floorboards and check.
Water slowly coming in and bilge pump frozen to the floor.
Kevin's watch at 03:00 so he bail bilge into the sink and I went
to bed. In the morning Brian and I thawed out the bilge pump and
got it working and find the source of the water. We had drained
the forward ballast tanks but they had ice and this fjord has
slightly warmer water so that was melting and running into the
bilge. Troy lit the water heater and Jason put a hose to the
fresh water tanks and we circulated hot water until they were
warm to try to keep everything in the hold from freezing.
Blizzard most of the day. Phone Peter Simotiuk our diligent and
helpful radio net operator and provide an update of our
happenings as our SSB propagation is no good just now. I'm
thankful again that Alice insisted I get a Sat. phone.
