Let me encourage you to go all the way to the bottom and read the posts beginning in April

More pictures of getting ready to leave. At the bottom we are towing the Famous Donna Lange out to sea. Her engine was broke and she wanted to sail back to Rhode Island. What a privilege.

We changed the oil in Bermuda, usually I let a mechanic do it. I did it myself this time, I did not realize I needed to tell the computer that we changed it. The oil light started flashing about 100 miles from Bermuda, 700 miles from shore. We threw out the sea anchor, turned the boat into the waves, 4 - 6 ft , checked the oil. It was fine, so I called my mechanic. While we were waiting to call back we fired up our 6 hp kicker. It pushed us a whopping 5 mph. We made a big joke out of it and agreed that if we needed to take it all the way to shore, we were not calling for help.
Obviously, when I called back the mechanic, we realized there was no problem, he told me how to tell the computer we already changed the oil. Truth of the matter cruising at 5mp would have made fishing possible an extra 4 day vacation!!! The Suzuki 115 ran like a top. It just purred right along. What an engine!
We had a little cubbie hole in front of the console that we slept in some, and also used for phone calls you really had to squeeze into it.

Pictures #6

These are Friday morning about 180 miles from NY city. It is calm, an we could average about 25 mph at 4000 rpm. These are a bunch of dolphins that are about to come play in our wake.

From the number of pictures I took to the motor, you can tell I was impressed with that Suzuki 115 four stroke.

Official Documents

Here we are approaching NY Harbor. I am driving at this point. If you look close you can see the dolphins playing in our wake.

Here we are with the Statue of Liberty. We did a victory lap at the Statue. We found out you can't do that. Three nice Port Authority Officers showed up in a Police Cruiser and wrote us a $75.00 ticket, about 20 - 30 minutes after we got there. It was nice of them to provide the government documentation of our arrival for the World Record Certification. I believe her name was Officer Teeple, who gave us the welcome home paperwork. In Bermuda people asked us to sign a copy of the newspaper with our pictures on it. In NY Harbor, we got to sign a summons. See how much we are alike.
