After dearly beloved just advised me that Balranald is this weekend
, I thought I'd better wet the boat out.
So, after putting buckets under the three known leak points, I threw about 40 litres of water in it. Well, that amount lasted less than 5 minutes.
Water was coming out everywhere. More buckets, tins, cups under the hull, including a large tub under the most problematic leak at the turn fin and then threw more water in it again. More leaks from all over. They were filling so fast, I couldn't keep up
. The shed was flooding. I thought,
"Bugger this" and ended up dragging the boat out of the shed and putting under the gravelled carport. It looks like I have an Eddy that's turned into a leaky Lewis.
The boat got a talking to: "You have three days to tighten up, otherwise I'm leaving you at home and drinking beer all weekend!
