10-30-90 - Floyd
Underway to Roatan via Serrana Banks or San Andres. Palantir, Shadow, C-Jay, Sea Lady, Sea Wing, Sweet Loretta, Antares, and Audrey round out our little flotilla. First day is pretty rough 20-25 knot winds gusting to 30 and confused seas but okay with Jib and Jigger. Fire up Sir Perkins to charge batteries around 1700, no prime, then no pump. Spend a hour or so figuring out how to put in the new one. Sure glad I brought a whole spare. Pumping water now but it doesn't seem like a whole lot.
10-31-90 - Floyd - Passage to Serrana Banks
Pouring out white smoke. Must be obstruction in water intake. Dive over the side holding a rope - nice experience gliding naked along in serene bottomless blue depths at about 2 knots behind Palantir, the water warm and clear. Later discover thru-hull not open all the way. Running cool now but lost everybody as they are now way
