Nothing like a good nights sleep on the boat. Woke up and checked the port hull for signs of the leak and very little water was there, most likely seepage from where we were not able to get it all out. It looks like the head was the culprit and it needed rebuilding anyway. I tackled the shower sump pump as the manual overide wasn't working. Unfortunately its in a very difficult place to get at but the culprit was a splice in the wire that had broken. I replaced the entire wire with a new one but the problem was getting it back up to where the switch was. A job that should have taken 1 1/2 hours turned in to a 3 hour job but I tightened all the hose connections, cleaned the pump and all is working well.
By the time that was done it was time to pack up and head back to Atlanta. A three day trip is right on the edge of not being worth a 9~10 hour drive.
Upon getting back, we had a light dinner and were cleaning up when I found myself in excruciating pain. This started about 8 pm, by 1 am we were in the ER waiting to be diagnosed with what I was quite sure was a kidney stone. The cat scan proved me correct and I have a kidney stone that hasn't passed. So, many drugs later we returned home. The pain subsided now its just a matter of time waiting for it to pass. I didn't realize the amount of pain such a little thing could cause but that was the worst pain I have ever experienced and hope, with the drugs, it passes without another episode like that.
