Rose Island to Chub Cay

 Our morning sunrise
 Look  how calm the water is!
 I told you there were no fish in this water Derek!
 But we do have some spotted rays!
You see the white pipe there....well our chain is wrapped
around it so Bob had to get in the water and unwrap it before
we could leave this morning
My captain on his way to release the chain :-)
These guys hung around to see what he was doing! 
 I've never seen a sailboat like this...pretty sweet!
 Yikes!  Look at all the windows and the built-in cockpit!
 Very nice!
Even has a side door
 Atlantis!
 Hangin' out with the big boys today!!
 Sheets are in the wind....average 7 knots today with one engine
helping out!
 My Captain!
 Anchorage area in Chub Cay


YAY! A BTC tower that works!
 I love the clouds here....it's a good thing because there sure are a lot of them!

Storymaker is on her way to Chub Cay.  We talked with our mechanic this morning and he says we have a blown head gasket issue.  So, we are headed back to the states on one engine and a main sail along with a jib.  We are rolling at 5.4 knots!  It'll take us forever to get home!
 
Right now, unless the weather changes, we hope to be crossing the Gulf Stream on Wednesday.  Keeping our fingers crossed! 
 
Pretty soon we will be out of range of internet and cell phone service.  We are hoping to pick it up in  in Bimini.
