I got up at and reinstalled the propane system, sans the solenoid and with the new regulator. I will turn the main valve on and off until the solenoid arrives. After my tea (I missed it yesterday), I replaced the defective manual fresh water pump. This is the second pump I have replaced. Both were knockoffs. I used the Whale Pump brand this time, so hopefully it will last. There was a leak under the sink. At first I thought it might be the trap that I replaced in Darwin (which would be bad news. Now I think it might have been the pump I replaced. I am going to let the cabinet dry out and figure out where the leak was coming from, or if it was in fact the pump. I moved on to organizing the new provisions. I put about two weeks of meals in the cabinet, which I figure with the fresh food will last about half the passage. The rest (and some random food items) I am storing in the tub strapped to the floor in the forward cabin. I still have not heard from Viking about the raft. I am going to try to take my fouled injectors to be cleaned and calibrated (rather than try to find new spares locally. I have plotted a potential course to Barbados. It will be about two weeks from Saldanha to St. Helena, hugging the coast initially to take advantage of the Benguela current, about a week to a waypoint just past Ascension, about two weeks due E to Brazil, a few hundred miles N of Recife, then another two weeks along the coast to Barbados.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current Position: 34 02.971\u2019S 18 20.883\u2019E; Timezone: UTC+2; SOG: 0; COG: N\/A; TWS: 40; TWD: 182; Current Speed, 0 kt; Current Direction, 0; Distance to Waypoint (Hout Bay): in a slip; Total Miles Sailed: 16487 nm; Engine Hours: 388; Estimate Fuel: 5+12+50; Comments: IO fell asleep a little after 7:00, before it got dark and &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/2025\/12\/09\/check-in-december-9-2025-1400-utc\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Check-in December 9, 2025; 14:00 UTC&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-captainslog"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2187\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
