Galley Whale Pump Rebuilt

We spent the day working off tasks from our list of things to be done on Foreign Affair. The small Whale pump on the galley sink leaked from the day we acquired the boat on Labor Day weekend, 2014.  We ordered a rebuild kit from West Marine.  Dwayne had no difficulty disassembling the pump but putting it back together again was a bit challenging as one of the rubber seals made screwing the pump barrel back onto its housing difficult.  Eventually, the pump was reassembled and installed.  Another 15 minute job that took nearly three quarters an hour to complete.  As often as not, simple tasks become time consuming irritants.  As a friend once shared with us and we remind ourselves on these occasions, "This is the life we have chosen."  Still, it is worth the frustration.
