Day 3 - Sint Maarten Again

Weather a lot more pleasant today with sunshine, no rain and a gentler breeze. Engine checked for static oil leak. Al bone dry therefore conclusion is that it drips under pressure, like a has been.
Some petrol got for the outboard as a less than a litre in the jerry can. Fuel will be required tomorrow for next few days as shortest distance Ito get a shore believe is half a mile and if unlucky in where we can anchor or get a mooring
buoy 1 mile. Our 2.5HP outboard can only hold 0.9 of a litre. Got 5 meals ready for trip back from Carrefour to help stock up on our losses due rust and exploding cans, which there maybe more of if where they have been stored is a little warm. Checked out with immigration and customs, another $7USD. If efficient will get 0830 bridge, if not will depart on the 1030 outbound lift. |
