Sitting and waiting in Martinique
Having trouble with black smoke out of the engine so we'll be holed up here until Tuesday so the mechanic can check out the timing. Bruce doesn't want to turn a $200 repair into a $2K repair. There are so many boats here; we had no idea Marin was home to so many permanent local boats and this picture shows only maybe a 12th of the volume. All is well except we lost an oar and can't find a replacement in any of the 12 boat part shops here. Go figure. Anyone coming down to join us, be a prepared to be hauling a dingy oar.
