Well it finally happened. Last week, the genset that was giving us trouble earlier in the trip finally kicked the bucket. We pulled it out and split off the generator from the genset motor. After several days of trouble shooting, NextGen sent us a new gernarator under warranty. One day later we had it put back together and dropped it back into its sound dampening case under Phil's bunk. It was a family ordeal. We pulled it using blocks and tackle hung from an eye-hook freshly mounted from the cabin's ceiling. High fives all around when it started up and was working again!
We docked the Adamo at the tiki bar marina again. I guess if you're going to be stuck somewhere, it's best to be stuck at the tiki bar!
The winds are due to finally shift to the SE tonight for 2 days, which will be the first weather window for crossing to the Bahamas since we reached south Florida 3 weeks ago. With any luck we'll be sailing Thanksgiving day to Bimini. No turkey this year. It'll be four cornish game hens with the traditional fixings. The stove just cannot accomodate a turkey. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
