[C38] snapped exhaust riser

[Steve Smolinske]

Thanks Don luckily no water just lots of exhaust in the boat due to  
conditions of weather and crew I had to keep motoring until I was  
inside the islands tried to put up sail but realized quickly I had to  
stay at the helm as my wife was in no shape to do anything tomorrow I  
should have the riser finished and can get back to vacation
