I mentioned before that there is always work on a barge!

We were ready to go - and then the most important item on a barge started making strange noises. No, not the engine - the electrical toilet, sorry head. So we had to get a replacement motor (I think they should paint these toilets golden - it would not add much to the price of the whole thing).

Speaking of heads - I decide to add an electrical water pump to the aft head (for all of you who have pumped by hand). I leave the old system in place, just to make sure we have a backup in case of a power failure!

So instead of sitting around, Betty started to paint the living room.
