So I told @bronze10 but sounds like he may have other priorities right now but if he doesn’t want it I left a really nice 2.5 gallon no spill gas can In front of 18A someone can have if they like I forgot it on accident it does have 2.5 gallons of Fuel in it from Florida.

Thats perfectly fine with us. Later is better as far as we are concerned. We are in no rush. We are packed up mostly, but we need to load up and go see the dockmaster, for our screwing I guess from what everybody else is saying. So dont rush on our account.
Is it possible for you to inform the dock master that 21I has vacated and to close the account so that I am not charged additional days accidentally? Thanks

My SX230 ran 18mph, on plane, trimmer out, with one engine idling.
I think at idle it would be worse.. Its dumping a lot of fuel when idleing. I am gonna try and find the sweet spot and let her roll... If it gets bad I'll stop and clamp it off. I have the pliers ready. In calm seas I could get to 20 to 22 mph with the tabs but man that one engine is doing everything it can... That would be a hard 3 hours on the one good engine. I'm gonna run them both and if the other one craps out half way well them I only have to do half way with one engine!.

My experience on the canals are very very different. And still less than the Sands. Sure we missed out on hangout with everybody at night but sometimes that's the price you have to pay.
Sadly I didn’t see much done as a big group on this trip, I hope July’s group plans more group activities as it was disappointing for a few of us.

We made the crossing yesterday and came into port of Miami. Headed north to Ft Lauderdale here in a bit. Glad to see everyone made it back.

Made it in approximately 2hours.... Bad engine made it, but wasn't happy.
Glad to here that Mike sounds like it didn’t blow either that’s a good thing.
