[Rhodes22-list] crawford adventure

The Crawfords are being too polite.

Somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic the boat started to sink.

Thanks to cell phone technology we did a "Hello Houston - we have a problem" call and came to the conclusion that when one of our guys upgraded the cb line he forgot to put back the cb hose or at least the hose clamp and the high pressure from the great Yamaha forced water to spill up and over the cb cap hose barb.  Lower motor speeds seemed to confirm this long distance theory.  Since they made it safely to a safe haven itinerary landing we will get to check the theory - had they gone to the bottom it would have remained another Rhodes mystery.
