B is for Beverly
Petit Calivigny Bay, Grenada, July 8 to 15, 2012
Many of you enjoyed our early post about out first boat pet, Arthur. (See Our day with Arthur, the tiny octopus.)
This post is about our second boat pet Beverly, a Grenadian gecko. (I decided that our boat pets should be named sequentially, A, B, C, etc.) Continue reading
Socialization for Phase 3
So far, I’ve divided the adventure into three phases:
- Phase 1 (April to mid-May) : Preparing us and the boat to leave Fort Lauderdale.
- Phase 2 (mid-May to July 9th) : Sailing the boat from Fort Lauderdale to Grenada. Grenada was a big destination because while we were north of Grenada, the boat was not insured against named storms (like Alberto, Beryl, Chris, and Debby).
- Phase 3 (now until TBD) : Working on the boat in Grenada and Trinidad. We’re in the second round of repairs and maintenance, fixing and improving things that we discovered during our 2700 miles of sailing in phase 2.

New heads
The electric heads (marine toilets) in the boat had a serious (and disgusting) design flaw. Tony wrote them this email:
Dear Jabsco,
I have three 58500-0012 electric toilets (foot switch) installed in my boat. Two of them have a tendency (not to put too fine a point on it) to splatter macerated shit up and out of the bowl. This is an undesirable feature in a marine head. As there are no obviously adjustable parts, I am at a loss. What would you suggest?
