After a somewhat bouncy, rolly night at anchor we left Oven Rock to head south to Williams Bay. The wind had shifted to the north in the afternoon causing waves to roll into the anchorage. We knew that was possible, although the wind was a little stronger than we expected. Exiting the Galliott Cut to Exuma Sound was not a problem and we were pleased to find enough wind to sail the 20 miles south to Lee Stocking Island and Williams Bay.

The finished yogurt. I am actually quite pleased with the results. The instructions I found on the website, Serious Eats, suggested leaving the yogurt at room temperature for 12 hours after the incubation period, then in the refrigerator for two days before transferring it into a container. I think it made a difference in the consistency.

Once we were anchored George installed the new o-rings on the watermaker* and started it up. He was disappointed to find that it was still sucking in air from somewhere and now it doesn’t generate enough pressure to filter water. So it is worse than ever. After working on that we dinghied to the beach with Jean and Michael from Desiderata II and walked to the top of the hill to see the surf from Exuma Sound. It is quite a view.
*I have been talking about the watermaker but have realized should explain what I mean by that. The watermaker is actually a reverse osmosis desalinator that filters the salt out of sea water to make fresh water. We use the water for all our needs on Breeze On.

At a very dark night, you might try to insert a small light into the housing, and look for stray light? Alternatively, get yourself a big cigar and blow smoke into the water outlet: where thereis smoke coming out...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the suggestions. I like the idea of the cigar, except one of us would have to smoke it. Ugh!
DeleteYogurt looks delicious! Thanks for the explanation of the watermaker for both Mom and myself!
ReplyDeleteI was pleased and surprised the yogurt turned out so well. With any luck I won’t be talking about the watermaker much the rest of the winter. Fingers crossed.
