Another day in the BVI's and it is pointless to discuss the weather,... as Jean has kindly answered our question: What color is snow?? ...with a photo of her brother's back yard in Truro... :
I guess her response is clear enough.... hehehe
Over the past few days the engine has arrived and we have manoeuvred it into the boat and into its new home in the engine compartment. It is sitting there now on a huge 6x6 block, from here we have to start lining it up and fabricating the way it will sit on the mounts, exhaust, etc etc so a few more days of pain to get to the point where we can actually start it... how ever small it seems it was allot of work an is real progress for us... which is great .... the down side is that the boat is a sea of engine bits and tools and it smells like diesel and petroleum but that will pass... and we will hear a rumble in the future... here are some photos if it arriving:
We are here almost a month and that of course meant a visit to immigration for our extension to stay here a while... no worries they were happy to have 2 more rag tag sailors that smelled heavily of diesel stay in their country... actually I think she just wanted us out of her office as fast as possible ...stamp pay 10 dollars each and ...out.... :) All is well
Over the past few days we had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful cruising couple, Captain and Mate, Thierry and Marine of the 85 foot sailing cat Sun Tenareze.
They are here at the docks with us, departing today and are planning to visiting Nova Scotia and the maritime provinces including Halifax during the months of June and July. We spent last evening passing on local information and phone numbers of the folks who helped us as well as talking about anchorages and yacht clubs, where to go and ideas for spending their time... I hope that when she visits you get a chance to see this big cat. She is one of the most beautiful vessels we have seen in a long time...
Ohh... and at 85 feet she is for sale so if anyone is in the market for a yacht like this I would be happy to put you in touch with Thierry and Marine to discuss the details... she is one of a kind...
We had a great evening and truly hope to meet and do it again some time in the future...,
Here are some photos of Sun Tenareze:
Apart from that all is well, ...missing Jean but we are counting the days...
Until more time passes ....Be Happy....
