We spent the night in South Side Marina, fueled up (47 gallons, we can now go all the way to Miami without refuelling), went to the hardware store to get some hoses (the hose from the water pump broke), got some more stuff at the supermarket and then enjoyed a great happy hour with all the cruisers. The marina is full so it was a lively party that went on until 11 (really late for us), pictures will follow. They are mostly going South. the only one going North like us is a 50ft Catamaran, no match for our speed, unfortunately. There is a Tayana 37 just like ours owned by a Canadian couple and their stories are even worse than ours: they got a new engine and are very happy about it.
Today we leave the marina as soon as the tide comes up (in an hour) and go anchor on Sapodilla Bay so that tomorrow bright and early we can leave for the Bahamas. The winds are not bad but the swells are very big (2 to 3 meters) but will have come down some by tomorrow. If the conditions are good we will do an overnight to try to reach Clarence Town on Long Island by Tuesday afternoon and possibly be in Georgetown by Wednesday or Thursday.
In the meantime we will enjoy this weather!
