FRIDAY AUG. 21st
We have someone delivering fuel in 2 hrs & then off to Tasiilaq Greenland (400 mi). Looks like good weather window. Should arrive Monday. Will work our way down East Coast and transit Prins Christian Sund, reportedly one of the most spectacular passages on earth.
In general the weather is getting dicier. A train of new lows forming over Newfoundland and stirring the seas between here and there quite dramatically. The passage from Greenland to Newfoundland will have to be timed well.
Hurricane Bill should not be an issue here. Hopefully it goes north of St Barths.

The list of repairs to the Maryam during our stay in Reykjavik includes:
1. 2 sails needed repair.
2. Replaced fresh water pump & removed the accumulator tank. It should not have been left in as the rapid on/off of the pump (that caused the hammer sound in the pipes) burned up the switch on the fresh water pump installed in Norway.
3. Replaced aft sump pump (drains aft head and galley sink). We botched the servicing of the old pump.
4. Main engine had two leaks in the cooling system.
4a. The major one filled the transmission with sea water. Potentially catastrophic. Replaced the transmission fluid cooling unit and flushed the transmission with new oil. Appears to be working OK.
4b. The minor one took longer to fix as we had to add new metal in several places.
5. We practiced with all of the sails.
6. Not a problem, but we needed provisions for 20 days as Greeenland may not have much.
7. Fuel transfer pump appears not to work. Spent many hours on this with no resolution. Will make do with 300 gal in the forward tanks.
