New News from EYE

So after a day and a half of trying to figure out what exactly was/is wrong with the transmission, the EYE crew is back underway on the ICW as of 1030 EDT Thursday.

Adam called in to say that they had a mechanic look at a couple different potential fail points, but none of them turned up anything conclusive. The ultimate problem is that the transmission is losing fluid, but they don't know where it is going.

Besides that they are sailing north hoping to get to Savannah, GA, by Friday where they might be able to catch up with Alan at the finish line of this year's Tybee 500. From there Ian will hopefully catch a ride back up to the Tidewater area for work on Sunday, and Alan will hop aboard until the boat makes it to its new home near Yorktown, VA.

my guess is that the transmission fluid is going into our streams and lakes
