Abandon Ship

Day #7: Allan and Sally Seymour, Nellie's crew since Key West, jumped ship in Miami today. We did manage to tour the Miami River first though.

Allan got me thinking about bilge pumps--exciting stuff I know. We calculated that a 1" hole in the hull, two feet below the waterline, would let in more than 20 gallons per minute, or roughly 1300 gph. Time to look seriously at Nellie's current configuration.

On the hook off Star Island, Miami Beach, Florida. 10nm today and 145nm total. DBH
