Morning starts with drilling again - a bigger hole to access those elusive windlass electrical wires - finally accessing them - voltage check indicates the motor is in some way burnt out - not the ships wiring. - problem solved but not the solution - even at Marine Liquidators (an Aladdin’s cave otherwise a warehouse) of miscellaneous ships’ items could not supply a new windlass motor..

So, time to go - we left the marina at mid-day (high tide to clear the barge on exit), quick stop at the fuel dock the re-load our life-raft and away to the Bahamas - BUT wait - we read the cloud formations over breakfast - "alto-cumulus" (flocks of sheep) - thunderstorms in the afternoon – never-mind a little rain won't hurt - off we went to cross the Gulf Stream and make for West End - Grand Bahamas Island.
