12-12-09 Geoff the good news is the outboard is working quite well now. It likes to ride on the stern of the Snow Goose and likes to be very dry. Great huh for a water animal. Yes, the starter again. We have a mechanic coming aboard on Monday for a look see at the overall engine before we cross that Gulf Stream to Bimini. We'll let you know how that goes. Actually, the engine has been just fine working away every day down the ICW. It is a bit dirty running however and we think a little tuneup might be due. It will be good to pull those sails out again.
