Got going by 07:30 on our way to Treasure Cay. About one half hour out our oil pressure dropped on our port transmission so the CO turned the port engine off. When he went down to the engine room and checked there was no transmission oil in the port transmission cooler. We called Marsh Harbour Marina to see if they had a mechanic and a slip for us and they did. We limped into the marina on the starboard engine and they tied us up at the far end of the gas dock. The mechanic can not come until tomorrow. This is very frustrating because this is the same transmission oil cooler core that we replaced, new, last November.
Later in the afternoon we went down to the bar for a while. We met this guy from Canada who made his own sail boat. It is 55' long, very wide, all welded steel, and very heavy. He had 10 ton of lead in his keel alone but we can’t remember how much it weighed overall. He was very interesting to talk with and he also had a great sense of humor. Also ran into Mike from Casey D, the marine, and talked with him about our boat problem. He said he knows of the mechanic and heard he is very good.
