Hmm...So this is Nassau. Wonder if they have grass here.Wait a minute! There's Paradise Island! CERTAINLY there must be grass
on a place called Paradise Island.
An overheated engine is delaying our arrival in Nassau by an hour or so. Wayne dug a little sea weed out of the strainer, which didn't seem to help, then put in a new impeller. That made enough difference that we are able to use the engine on low rpms until we reach the marina, where Wayne can investigate further in the relative comfort of a dock. He suspects a clog somewhere.
I thought this was a funny photo because it looks like the cruise ships are on land. The one on the left is Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas, which Wayne and I cruised on many years ago. We much prefer the kind of cruising we do now.We made it and are happily docked at Nassau Yacht Haven ($2/ft. + metered electric), still with Dues Paid. Wayne checked in while I got online ($10 a day for dial-up speed wi-fi service), then we went up to the Customs Office (aka the Laundry Room).
Betty and Leo stopped by for awhile, then I walked Emma until a downpour hit.
Wayne fixed the engine problem - sea weed in the engine intake through hull.
I have the exact same problem on my boat however mine is even worse, as water comes into the thruhull and then immediately into a 90 degree elbow.
