Pensacola, FL to Mobile, AL

Miles: 80 Hours: 15 The source of the burning rubber smell turned out to be a shredded engine belt.  Chet had some fun rearranging the alternators so that he could sort out the belts while we sailed across the bay.  Further investigation would reveal that the leaking water cooling pump had created a salt beard



Bradenton, FL to Pensacola, FL

Miles: 350 Hours: 15 Virtually no wind on our passage to Pensacola so we motored most of the time.  It was stifling just sitting in the cockpit as what little wind there was came off our stern.  Dolphins and flying fish abound.  We had no idea there was so much life this far off shore.
