Moving to Highborne Cay The Bahamas Ep. 32

After spending an incredible day at Allen's Cay it was time to move on to our next stop. The weather report was calling for winds up to 30mph and with the poor holding in this area, we knew it would be best to move to the west side of nearby Highborne Cay. While motoring out of the Southwest Allen's Cay entrance we noticed the motor didn't sound right and the raw water cooling system wasn't pumping water properly. We quickly found a place to anchor so we could try to figure out the problem. After fiddling around for a while and changing out the hardly used pump impeller Kenzie suggested to take apart the raw water strainer to see if there was a clog that was preventing the water from flowing. Sure enough we found a huge seaweed clogged just passed the elbow and inside the filter body. The REAL problem however was that the pump body was installed backwards leaving no room for the seaweed in the strainer. We cleaned the pump body out and installed it the proper way, so we won't be having this problem again. We sailed to Highborne Cay and anchored at an anchorage with fantastic sand! The water was crystal clear and we saw the largest sting ray we have seen so far on our trip swim right under our boat! We are preparing to be here for at least 4-5 days waiting out the high winds before we can move on further south down the Exumas. *********************************************************************** THANK YOU for watching our videos and for SUBSCRIBING to our YouTube channel!
