We are anchored still in Green Turtle. This morning Kevin spent time working on the Generator again. He has narrowed the problem down to a faulty connection on the engine stop selonid with a corroided wire connection. He has temporarliy fixed it, enough to use till we get home. His second project today was Jarvus (our auto pilot), the on off nob came loss while making our crossing and he thought maybe the shaft was broke. Once he took the front off he found the set screws had losen and the threads for the knob to connect the shaft were stripped so he was able to re connect and tighten the set screw so we can use it on our crossing back. This too will need to be replaced.
We have looked at the weather for cast and it looks like our only weather window to return will be Saturday the 26th, so we will be leaving Green Turtle Tuesday morning and start Island hoping back to Great Sail Cay by Christmas day and start our crossing that night. If all goes as planned we will be state side by the evening of the 26th.
Today is Sunday and everything is closed, so we are doing cleaning and just hanging out, we may dighy in to town later this afternoon or not. The winds have been blowing steady out of the NE at 25-30 knot for three days now and it should ease up by Tuesday. Temprature has been about 77 the last few day, which has been very nice. Well I must sign off for now. Happy sailing and fair winds to all and to all a good night.
