Doing last minute checks and inspections prior to our cruise to the Erie Canal. Run and leak check of engines produced a show stopper in the form of a rotted out exhaust elbow on the starboard engine, leaking water everywhere. A quick review of the archives didn't give me much hope of finding a new one soon. However, an email to Trans Atlantic Diesel was answered this morning with a replacement elbow. $390 for aluminum, $750 for stainless. They're shipping an aluminum one today. Hopefully we'll be underway by the week-end. However, I always remember "Man Plans, God Laughs".
