In the morning, we go and with the help of the Gulf Stream and a South East wind we should do the 90 or so miles and be snug in 10 feet of water on the Bahamas bank sometime in the evening. Worked for 3 days more or less on the engine and it turns out the plugged filter you see in the top pic and accumulation of soot due to me taking it easy on the engine caused the exhaust to plug at the mixing elbow where water is fed into the exhaust to cool it down. Got it chiseled out today and it's purring like a kitten again, I just have to let it roar like a lion once in awhile to generate some heat and keep it cleaner. Will update again when we can but will have no communication before Friday or most likely Saturday when we can get to Starbucks in Nassau and use their wireless.
