My boat did not go so well.
First, I verified that my diesel waterpump begins to pump and then
stops. I decided to think about that for awhile while I put my roller
furling back on. I installed it myself 4 years ago so I thought this
would go well but did not forsee that 4 years of age would cause my
tendency to get dehydrated get so much worse. I literally drank a
gallon of water in two hours. When I start to get dehydrated, I
simply cannot think clearly and end up doing stupid things.

When I was a heat treater at IH I popped about 4 salt tablets each
shift. They had dispensers all over the plant. Even my socks had
white salt stains when they dried.
If you're sweating enough to drink that much water, you have to
replace the salt. Might be the cause of your "thinking" problem.
