We are here in Palm Coast and the mechanic has been here several times. We removed the v-drive and he has that in the shop to be torn down. There were several parts of the engine that he suggested needed to be looked at so they have been removed also. Hi Flite is truly a sailboat, no other form of propulsion. We are now waiting on word of what needs to be replaced before we can move on.
Since we are stuck here for a while we decided to do a good deed. Our friends Ken and Francie on Release are making the big move from a sailboat to a powerboat. They made the purchase in the Bahamas and are now trying to move two boat north. They had family help to bring the boats to Florida but now are alone. We don't have anything to do while we wait so we offered to help. The plan is for them to take the new boat and Cori and I to take the sailboat and continue north. Depending on the weather and other conditions we plan to try to go offshore in as long of runs as we can to get as far north as possible before we have to come back to Florida. It is also possible that we may have to just follow them up the ICW. At that point we will continue on with Hi Flite.
