 North Andros was a perfect stop!
Good for you for persevering on the macerater 🦨.  Not a fun project 

Jay from Below Decks, took us on a tour of North Andros. The island is pretty organized with newish roads and local amenities that proved to have all we needed. At a local mennonite vegetable and fruit farm, we stumbled upon their machine shop where we found 100 old generators and one brand new one in a box. This particular new generator was exactly the model that Andrew and Sophie had been eyeing in Florida, but didn’t have the cash at the time to grab it. So it just seemed like fate and we bought it to allow us the extra power to make freshwater without depleting all of our solar energy. We went back to the boat later that afternoon and fired it right up and it instantly proved to be an excellent purchase. I spent most of the afternoon with my head down, changing out a macerator pump in my bathroom and on the fifth attempt, having taken the brand new one apart and finding some crappy gaskets, I was able to rebuild the new one and put it into the toilet and finally get a leakless flush. A grand accomplishment as the mystery smells in a boat need managing all the time….

Once again Willow got lots of love today and we all brought the effort tweaking her one more level, checking of the long list that is rapidly getting shorter!
