March 2008 Update - Like all good plans, the Bahamas cruise for this year has been cancelled due to a leak discovered just before leaving Lake Worth , Florida to cross the gulfstream. The starboard 65 gallon water tank emptied overnight into the bilge. This left one 30 gallon water tank and our plans to go to the out islands in the Exumas were scrubed. Luckly, Kracor still has the molds for this tank and we ordered and installed a new tank which required that we remove the starboard settee and rebuild same. We finished this work in September 2008 and have reset the trip to March 2009. Since we could not leave this year due to hurricane season, we took the time to replace the autopilot to a ST6001 wheel pilot and finish the to do checklist which never seems to go away. A friend gave me a satellite TV system and we are figuring how to install it on the boat. It would be neat to watch Direct TV in the Bahamas. More to come
