Locks & Locks of Rain

Up at 6:30 to catch the lock opening at 0700.  And yes, for you Doubting Thomas's, Deb is on this trip.  We motored at 6 knots all day.  It rained until 1400.  We had the great pleasure of going by and waving to Lila by the Clyde Bridge.


We had 0 lift bridges, but seven locks.  We are a finely tuned team now.  We averaged less than fifteen minutes per lock and made it to Baldwinsville a whopping three hours ahead of our ETA.




We had to make this unexpected stop because Deb forgot to pick up Don's antibiotics and he was running out.  He had chewed up his hand in the windlass six weeks previously and one finger wasn't healing well


We docked at the wall just before Lock 24.  Our earlier than expected landfall meant that we were able to meet Linda, Chris, Bethany, Devin and Sydney for dinner.  We spent the night at Fred and Linda's where she let us do laundry and then fed us a delicious breakfast.  Poor Linda thought SHE was going to get a break while Fred was gone, not unexpected guests. - Deb

And the Plot Thickens (well, it gets complicated anyway)

We've been anchored outside the St Thomas airport since Thursday.  Had to arrive early because of the weather.  It's a pretty rolly anchorage but the others are very crowded.  We're renting a car today and going to drive around and get groceries.  The steering wheel is on the normal side of the car but they drive on the left.  Don spent all day yesterday plotting courses and entering them into the chart plotter.  This will be the most complicated sailing of the trip.

The Bishop's Belt Fails Again

After spending a night at a very classy marina. (They gave us a bottle of wine.) We headed off to check in with Customs. I wouldn't have bothered, but you know... the bishop. Two $25 cab rides later and we were no longer illegal aliens. We reprovisioned and cast off for the intracoastal Waterway. As we approached our 4th drawbridge in the first 2 hours of travel, we heard a slapping sound from the motor as the belt we replaced last week shredded itself. As we had just experienced this I expected only part of the belt would shred and the rest remain functional. But then David said he smelled rubber and I went to investigate. Smoke was coming from the engine compartment. I prepared the fire extinguisher and hesitantly opened the compartment. More smoke, but no flames. As I searched for the source of the fire, it gradually occurred to me that this was steam, not smoke. The belt had totally disintegrated. The water pump was not turning and the engine was overheating. After an emergency...

Shark! Alternator!

February 27 & 28th This was back on Tuesday and Wednesday but the snorkeling was so cool. In Staniel Day we swam in the Thunderball Grotto where 007 defeated SPECTRE. It was an underwater cave with beautiful fish and a stingray. At Exuma National Park I had the best snorkel ever with loads of colorful coral big fish, several turtles. As I swam with the turtles they suddenly got coy and headed for cover. I looked to see why as a 7 foot shark cruised by. This shortened my swim rather abruptly. Yesterday we dropped Ric off in Nassau, then David and I made like mechanics. After changing spark plugs and fuel filter on the dingy motor, we opened the engine compartment to change the oil on BrainWaves. There was black spaghetti all over the engine. The belt had shredded. THE ALTERNATOR STRIKES AGAIN!!! So with a few borrowed tools from helpful boaters we replaced the belt as well as changed the oil, then treated ourselves to a seafood dinner. Today we tried to leave Nassau Harbor but ha...
