First order of work today was to continue to search for the elusive leak in the storage area. Pretty much the only thing I hadn’t checked was the water inlet for the black water tank. This isn’t as bad as it sounds, this particular connection receives a garden hose and the water is routed to a series of fine nozzles inside the septic waste tank to allow a thorough cleaning. Previously you had to stick a hose down the toilet and wiggle it about (where are emoticons when you need them). Any way this was the cause of the leak, so I need to do a little plumbing to sort this out.
We made up a picnic lunch, chucked the bikes in the back of the truck and headed out to the beach at St Simon Island. it was low tide, and this meant the beach was 30-40m wide, with about half of that being damp, hard packed sand. Ideal for bike riding, neither of us had ever been bike riding on the beach before (only horseback riding). The going was very easy, unless you wandered into the soft sand. All in all I figure we cycled about 5 miles.
When we got back I went to the office to pay for the rest of our stay, the owner being the nice guy that he is gave us a pro-rated monthly rate for the next couple of weeks which saved us some $$$$ and means we will now stay here til Tuesday the 9th.
