Last night we had a BIG thunderstorm and another this morning. We are getting a bit bleary eyed as no one is sleeping quite as well as when it was calm. Still motoring. After the storms go through at 25-30 knots, the wind drops or comes around right on the nose!! Another excitement-our large fuel tank is no longer feeding the engine. So, Dale had to transfer the fuel from the big tank to the small tank using the dinghy pump!! He is our very own MacGyver. We will be in NYC this afternoon (Monday). We are still trying to figure out how to check in to the US. Dale has called 6 different numbers and no one knows where to send us. Ridiculous!! It's supposed to get really hot out here 90-96 degrees. Ugh. Our cell phone works - it is a US cell phone so feel free to call. 340-690-2469

Lots of ships to spot too! One day we were surrounded by 5 military ships including an aircraft carrier!!
