Stefan,
Steve right, Raritan is not that far from City Island! CPYC may be able to work something out if you would like to leave your boat there prior to head off to BIRW.

About your engine overheating problem, I had a problem like that a few years ago. Turned out to be the raw water pump had "clearanced" itself. It looked fine, I had installed a new impeller but it would not pump water or enough water. I replace the whole assembly and it worked fine. You could try removeing the back cover on the pump and sanding it on a flat surface or try turning it over.
