Begin Bahams Cruise


5 Mar - Day #1. The Adventure begins--Bahamas here we come. But first a little detour. It's a beautiful 30nm down the Bay to P.L. Jones' Boat Yard on Hooper's Island. Nellie's hauled and then a new Dynaplate and triducer (depth, water temp, and water speed) are installed. The old Interphase probe transducer is removed. and the prop shaft is backed out so the PSS rotor can be removed. The rotor has two more set screws added; now there are 4 at 90 a degree spacing. This will keep equal pressure on the o-rings and keep water from leaking in—a good thing. Nellie spends the night in the Travelift's straps. 30nm today; 30nm total. DBH
