St. Martin

Good News from the mechanic as he checked our engine oil pressure and injectors and every thing checked out ok. We have again replaced the oil pressure sensor and are keeping our fingers crossed this is all that is wrong. Though the kids and I are sure that Ron was just a little bit disappointed he wasn’t going to get his hands dirty removing and rebuilding the engine.

We took advantage of our time here to play with the kids. They have had a lot of fun being towed around behind the dinghy. The bigger dinghy engine is capable of towing two people and gives us quite the ride over the waves and swells. In addition, Jenessa and I managed to go trail riding which also included a swim in the ocean with the horses. It was interesting talking to our guide Michel as he is from Spain on a two year horse training contract. After the trail ride Michel showed us the two stallions, a Andalusian & a Pasa Fina that he brought with him from Spain.

We spent quite a bit of our time on the French side (St. Martin) as it was a quick dinghy ride across the lagoon. The seaside town of Marigot is very quaint with small seaside restaurants and many interesting stores to peruse. We met up with an old friend from Jamaica and enjoyed a nice French pizza with him and his wife. We also met up with Linda & Michael from the S.V. Gåva and enjoyed another wonderful evening that included the most wonderful French desserts.
We had anticipated spending two weeks here, but with the good news about the engine we are off to Anguilla after only one week
