Leaving Stryker Island
August 3rd (Saturday) This morning we left Stryker Island. We did not get an early start as we were hoping to sail, and the winds were supposed to be best in the afternoon. The last time that we had tried to make water, the flow had been low, so since then we had cleaned all of the filters and we were planning to make water today while motoring out. Unfortunately the flow was still too low to make water, and after troubleshooting the system, starting by making sure the thru-hull was not clogged we have concluded that, for some reason, our low-pressure pump is just not creating enough flow/pressure. It is supposed to be a 40psi pump, but when we close the exit line the pressure switch is now shutting the pump off at about 15psi. The pump is still pumping water, but with much less flow than it should be. Unfortunately, when we left Vancouver we did not get a spare pump for this because we were still testing the whole system, and we thought a pump would last longer than this. Lucki...
