Quick update
By Mike Jastrzebski
The Internet is down where we’re docked right now so this will be a short post from my iPad. Today is engine test day. The parts for the heat exchanger came in Friday, I’ve changed the impellers even though they were fine as I suspected, and today we run the engine to see if the over heating problem has been solved.
If all goes well then next week we’re going to leave the slip and take Rough Draft to a nearby anchorage. We plan to take several day trips to make sure the problem is fixed before heading across to the Abacos.
Since Christine Kling is planning to head over to the Abacos around the 21st of February we’re going to stick around Ft Lauderdale for a couple of weeks and buddy boat with her across the Gulf Stream.

A British friend of mine calls buddy boating "clumping". When I asked him why, he said "You Americans sail along in clumps."

I guess that's true, however I think I would refer to two boats as perhaps a clumpette. At any rate I'm usually only lukewarm to buddy boating but Christine, my wife Mary, and I get along well and since both boats are heading to Green Turtle Cay we figured why not? Mike
Some people think that more boats means more safety. I think if you are not prepared to handle anything that comes up (like weredafugarewe) perhaps they should have tried to follow me because in a fair wind I will likely run off and leave them.
