Anchors aweigh

At 6:00 our anchor was out and we are now heading for Sandbore Channel and out into the ocean. The breeze is very mild but we know the swells today will still be large. I don't know how much longer I will have signal. Probably another hour and then data silence until we approach Mayaguana.
We think we may have a leak in the fuel tank. We had noticed it the last time we filled it up and avoided doing so most of the trip. We'll have to monitor it. One more thing to monitor. Juan spends his time going down to the engine room to look at the shaft and the autopilot (replacing screws when they come loose), opening the engine to make sure there are no leaks, and now lifting the floor boards to monitor the leak!! Fun, right?
