Well hello Banjo land, man will be so glad to leave u.

So the guys came today and put the transmission back in, it took them all day the poor guys, they sweated so much at one stage I thought we may just have to start the bilge pump...lol

But it's working...yay yay yay

Tomorrow they will be back and we Will do a sea trial and make sure all is working perfect, then we will come back and tie up at their marina, 

So no more Banjo Land, thank god.

Tom and Edie, arrived last night around 9pm, so we all had a bit of dinner a glass of wine and just sat around talking, was nice, and Edie seems lovely.

The poor guys were so tired as they drove for two days straight to get here, so am sure they will sleep well.

So with any luck we should be on our way tomorrow afternoon, if all goes well it should only take about a day and a half to get to Miami, as we need to get our visa's fixed and Edie has to fly back to work on Monday.

Then we will leave on Sunday if the weather is fine and start our trip again, this one will be anywhere between two to three weeks, but a lot easier cause we will be following the coast line up.

So they tell me, we are watching a very strong storm approaching, should be here in a day or so, but with luck it will settle down by the time it hits.

Well tomorrow is another day.
