Steve and Will helped us tie up (I did my blog entry) and we fixed a cocktail to sit on the back and enjoy sunset. We realized the diesel smell was getting stronger rather than dissipating—not a good thing. The engines get really hot after a six hour “blowing out the turbos” cruise on the open so after a couple of hours Fitz went down to check the engines and found one of the injector fuel lines had a hole in it. So this morning we call American Diesel and they are going to overnight the line and we hope the head mechanic/Captain can get it installed so we can make Charleston by Thursday afternoon when our friend Robin is coming in for business. The timing is suspect for this problem—only when we have a schedule we want to keep does this happen. Beaufort is a really lovely little town with loads of little shops and restaurants. We walked through the neighborhood and the antebellum homes are beautiful. The Gullah culture has some of its roots here and there is a lot of art, books and cookbooks that reflect those early slaves/emancipated people. Neat place.
