Stardust of Burnham - busted flush... again



Here we are on our fourth day out on the vessel Stardust of Burnham. We find ourselves sliding along very well with NE trade winds at 12 to 18 knots. Unlike some of our voyageurs, we have had wind most of the time and have had to motor only 10 hours thus far. Our very carefully planned route, thanks to our Skipper ,PB, has taken us to the East of many, keeps us 70 to 100 miles off the coast of the African coast. ............I just got caught again in the cockpit without my harness on-two more days cleaning the HEADS!! This was almost as humorous as our resident engineer ,GP, who forgot to turn the fuel supply back on after cleaning the racor filters. At 0300hrs. when the engine was started, it wasn't running very well. The Skipper was just about to send GP over the side to check the shaft and prop when, AHH yes, GP remembered he hadn't opened the fuel supply again. Onward we slide over the North Atlantic, wish us luck, Stardust sails on.......... The Yank.
