The bathroom is taken for granted in homes. More often than not, it works perfectly but if things go wrong, we call a plumber to do the dirty work. Everyone who joins Voyageur10.10 has a sense of urgency in their voice as they ask us to review the use of the head! The toilet on a vessel can be a mysterious piece of equipment AND a source of grief to many of us. When things go wrong, the crap literally hits the fan. HEAD ACHES is a light hearted look at what has and will go wrong with the head. Ken will offer solutions and preventative measures to keep your head working properly and smelling right.
