We're not singing out of tune (as per the Beatles), but Sea Change has hit a few sour notes recently, as you know from previous blog posts.
The good news is, we've had plenty of good local help. First, Norman, who cares for the boat when we're away, just repaired our leaking dinghy. Then two different mechanics worked on our diesel engine, and it's now purring like a kitten. Finally, before that, when we couldn't start the engine, we got a tow from our harbour "concierge" to a safe place to hide out from the huge windstorm that is currently passing through.
So, knocking on wood, everything's working for now, and with full water tanks, a provisioned larder and reasonably charged batteries, we're finally feeling more relaxed!
We just saw a picture of a snow-covered car in South Florida, so we still feel lucky to be here - especially on this howling day off.
