Not again !!
2 days later Bob found the water leak.
It was around the tubing for the condensate drain.  While
underway, splash from the boat dripped around the tubing
and followed it down into the hold where the TP and other
items were stored.

Bob taking the line off the mooring ball so we can head to
Robbie's and get our saildrives repaired.
We had water seeping into our starboard saildrive
(like an outdrive on a powerboat) oil, which, of course,
is not a good thing.

The birds have got to find another mast to sit on !!
You can imagine Bob's head if the canvas wasn't there!

The sailboat is almost as tall as the huge ship !



We were tootling right along and then all of a sudden we felt this
pull on the starboard side of the boat and then on the port, then we felt
vibrations, then we felt nothing and could see nothing so we kept on going.
Bob noticed we couldn't go anymore than 3.8 knots so suspected a
problem. He looked off the stern of the boat and this is what he
saw on both starboard and port !
It was floating on the surface of the water as far as we could see!

After pulling and pulling this is what we got ...
Bob estimated that there was well over 1 thousand feet of line
we pulled up.  I had this much on my side, and Bob had
a bit more on his side.

In the end, both Bob and I pulled up an iron crab pot each that

had been around forever ! Nothing in it of course !
The doors were open and it appeared to be abandoned.

Bob says it's the weirdest thing he's seen on the water.
There were no crab floats on our way.  For some reason
polypropylene line was tied between 2 dead crab/lobster pots.
Polypropylene line floats.  Why would there be 2 dead crab/lobster
pots on the ends of 1 thousand feet of floating line (with no other
hooks, lines, or sinkers) floating out in the middle of the channel?
