Stuck in Tavernier

We are back in Travernier Florida at least until Thursday. That is the first chance I have to pick up my alternator and starter that are being rebuilt. We need to do a little refitting before that, I have to fix the sail that ripped and also get the bilge pump working correctly. But those are minor things. My big problem is I can not get the water maker to work correctly. I think I'm going to have to buy a new water maker. That is about 2700 dollars. I didn't budget for that but if it works it will be worth it. Not quite sure when I can get the water maker. I think it won't be ready until the end of the month, so I will have to have it shipped to the Bahamas.
Right now the winds are perfect for going to the Bahamas. We have a west south west wind. We will go over if we have anything but a north or east wind. A north wind whips up the Gulf Stream and a east wind means you are going against the wind and it takes longer to sail. So it has to be a west or south wind.
If it is a south east wind we could also go.
We will have to see what they look like next Friday.

Jay, I finally used your tanks. It was just to clean the bottom of my boat but everything worked correctly. We might actually do some diving soon. We have been to 4 dive sights but the water has always been too rough. It doesn't bother you when you are under water, but we have to put everything on onboard and will all new equipment we just want a calm day to do that.
