Sundance has spent all day with the mechanic... and still the engine
refuses to start. Next on the diagmostic list is the exhaust. The
carburetor, ignition system and timing are checking out so far
(rebuilt carb today).
We are on the St. Mary's River, which is really beautiful. There is
an amazing bird population here, (heron - including Great Blue and
Osprey). Watching the birds do their fishing is always entertaining.
We took the dinghy out during the day to explore the river. The speed
test of the dinghy maxed out at 13 knots. Sundance is envious...
The marina here does a large number of refits. Some classic old boats
live here, including a 1940's wooden sailboat and a hand-built Haitian
catboat.
Tomorrow... who knows. We would love to stop at St. Clements island.
Of course our motor deteines the final plan... we are over a 100
miles from home. I think that's too far to walk.
We must suffer here, withthe sunset, herons and osprey..... oh, my.
PJ and Faith
