Today's news is that 'we' can't find the missing saildrive bit. However, Martin now tells me that his mate in Denarau has two, because Martin removed them from a boat. Apparently I can gave one foc, always provided that they haven't gone walkabout. Martin will know on Sunday, which means that if the worst comes to the worst I'll have wasted four days before ordering one from the UK, always assuming that they have one in stock. Slightly balancing that is the fact that fuel filters which in Suva cost F$80 each are F$35 in Denarau! I really don't know how they get away with it. Anyway, this price means I can acquire four and my fuel filtering system should be up and running in all it's glory.
So in the meantime, on Troutbridge if it doesn't move it gets painted.
