That drip is on the fresh water tank, not what I wanted to see today. This issue first came to light in November when we were boon-docking in the Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area in Florida, and at the time I stopped it with some gorilla tape the has held up till now. At the time resources where few and far between so when it worked I thought just let it be. Maybe the sanitizer weaken the bond the other day, what ever the reason it is leaking again.

This is a 380 litre / 100 gallon tank located between the frame rails of the chassis, and looks like it would be nearly impossible to remove as the area in front of the tank has a bracket holding the 2000 watt inverter welded in place. The kink looks like it has been there for sometime, possibly from the time of manufacture, no matter replacing it seems too difficult of option, so I will take another attempt to patch it. I have used a product called “Goop” to patch water leaks on glass washers when there are small holes so we will try this and see.

Well half a tube of Goop and a couple of hours of application upon application we seem to have stopped the leak. I think part of the cause of this leak is the amount of flex in the tank, although it has multiple supports when the tank is empty it does not rest on them but with it full it is fully supported on the cross bars. There is about 800 lbs of water in that tank so things are going to move.

Because we will be dry camping on the trek north we will need the tank full on departure to get us through the ten days. Well now back to the job of packing as we have picked up a couple of new chairs which we must find homes for as well as all the other regular equipment.

The day really makes no difference, but with our departure date on Monday seemed like a good day to enjoy breakfast with the Bannon’s at Two Peas, (a little breakfast and lunch place in a strip mall in LaBelle) the food was excellent and the service was top notch as well. They make home made pies so that could be on for lunch tomorrow. Probably should have taken a photo of my biscuits and gravy with grits, but I was hungry and by the time I thought of it the plate was pretty much clean…..lol

At breakfast Bob and I decided we should get out for another round of golf while we’re still in the warm weather, so we booked Copperhead golf course in Lehigh not our favourite course but it had a one o’clock tee time available, so not a lot of packing going on today…..

Still working with this program, should be able to get those photos beside each other but I seem to be failing right now.

So the golf was a little slower than usual and a lot slower than we like so instead of being less than four hours we were real close to five which gave us too much time to enjoy a cold one or two on the course. Wasn’t our best rounds of the winter but we played pretty respectable, we were paired with a couple of fellas who are permanently Floridians now, one from Erie and the other from the New Jersey area not missing the cold and snow at all, and it wouldn’t be Florida without out an afternoon shower, but it didn’t last long or effect our play.

And because we won’t be back to Lehigh again any time soon it only seem right to stop at our favourite little bar “Em Jays” for a $6 pitcher of beer … well maybe two pitchers.
