What sailors do when they can't sail




So after JP and Susan cleaned the boat (exterior) and Leigh puttered around straightening the boat (interior), we loaded three Coronas and headed by dinghy for the every-weekend party scene on Peanut Island. After that, we dinghied across to the Tiki Waterfront Bar and Grill at the City of Riviera Beach Marina, had some great fresh seafood, and then came back to the boat to watch "Dreamgirls".
Our host marina sent us to Jas Marine, which does mobile dockside service, as we are too small for EITHER of Rybovich Spencer's yards ;-). Turns out we had not actually damaged the engine, but for good measure they replaced the impeller (we had a new one in our spares kit) and JP got to watch, which was well worth the investment. Took them less than half an hour!
So...we are off again late this afternoon, to cross the Gulf Stream overnight and arrive at the Little Bahama Bank with daylight, then on to an anchorage at Great Sale Cay on our way to the Abacos.
