This is Tom & Tracy Grass on Bucket List (#1135 Catalina 320 MK II) who had
the galley sink blockage issue yesterday.

First - the clogged galley drain issue has been successfully resolved!
Second - all the many responses WERE in our SPAM folder. I want to thank
each and every person who responded to our question yesterday - especially
Dave Hupe.

Now details on the outcome. We read the article forwarded by Dave Hupe,
"Clear your slow or clogged Boat Drain - from The Boat Gallery" and this
did the trick. We started off with opening and closing the sea cock and
using a plunger - no impact. Then we poured boiling water down the drains
- not once but three times. Saw some drainage between the two sinks - but
they were both still clogged. We then used baking soda and cider vinegar
as described in the Boat Galley article down both sinks, waited 15 minutes
then added more hot water - at first no apparent flow - but then we plunged
the mixture a couple of times and the drains were opened.

Thanks everyone again.
