Jamaica to Grand Cayman

No wind followed by lots of wind. We tried to motor for the first day and, having fixed about 6 faults with the engine we hoped we would be OK. A 500 hour fuel filter lasted just 37 hours, so we have very dirty fuel. Murray shock treated the tank and we hope that this may alleviate our fuel problems. A horrible day sailing followed with the boat continually being rolled over and the cockpit and engine room taking on salt water – not a good thing. Then a beautiful sail to find Grand Cayman buoys were all full; last time there was only us!
