My O’Day 22 Sailboat Blog

There is about 2 inches of water gathered in the bilge. I could either use a length of tube and try siphoning the water out and risk accidentally drinking stale-old-bacteria-infested water or I can get a manual bilge pump to pump it out and keep it later onboard to possibly save me and the boat from an offshore sinking catastrophe. I opted for the latter. It set me back $31.24 from West Marine but I’d say it was a good investment.

Grand total so far: $ 5153.52
