We reached Mayaguana early this week. Hard ride to windward from Rum Cay--but not terrible. The wind was between the high teens and the mid 20's with 6 foot seas--close hauled the whole way. Abrahams bay is a huge beautiful bay. Still quite rolly, though not to the extent of Rum Cay. Very nice locals here...probably because there are not a lot of visiting boats this far out. We spent some time getting a tour of the island, led by local guide Scully. The picture is of the kids and Scully checking out some derelict planes at the local airport. We've been struggling with some mechanical problems so I've spent most of the week trying to figure out how to fix our port saildrive (transmission and drive leg) and now we have some sort of water source making its way into the starboard engine room. Its very difficult to find a yard that can help us out, and the best option may be to sail for Panama. We are preparing to leave for Jamaica in the morning, and have spent most of the day getting ready. We are looking forward to a bit of cooling rain that goes along with 7000 foot mountain peaks in the tropics--though hopefully not too much ha ha.
