Sardines Again with Relief for Steve

Our relief skipper, Dave, has brought in full hatches of sardines for the past three days. Steve thought he could come home soon. Wrong. Our boat sat for two months of maintenance and that caused new problems. Our refrigeration system is electrically challanged, the sonar up & down motor failed, the deck hose pump quit, and one of the four inch pumps which pushes ballast water in and out froze up. Inevitably these will all be fixed by Steve and the crew but he will not make it home this week. Relief is not all its cracked up to be.
