I saved us!! Our boat was sinking and I saved us. Okay, that might be a tad bit dramatic but I did stop water from flowing into the boat. Daniel was on deck doing "Daniel stuff" and I was down below doing "Carla stuff". The radio was on and the music was up, but I heard water pouring, like when Daniel washes the boat. But it made me think, he wasn't washing the boat...where was the water coming from? I turned off the radio and started listening. I looked up to make double sure he indeed wasn't out there washing the boat (he washes the boat, a lot) and I heard it. Pouring water. I looked in the forward stateroom and water was pouring on the pretty teak floor boards! I first holler: "honey, come quick we have water coming in" and then second, I flipped the switch on the electrical panel to turn off the water pressure. Yup, I thought of that all by myself. The water stopped flowing. I saved the day! Daniel came in and found a hose had come off the water maker. I was thinking, I really, really saved the boat but alas, the boat only holds 150 gallons and the best I did was save us from a lot of clean up. Bottom line though, it is nice to know I can think through "in an emergency" and act. We're going to make it just fine.
