As of now no news of Cantaloupe island. Thanks to my very capable breton crew, Olivier, work aboard has progressed in the week we've been here-She's still on the hard and I wish I'd taken a photo of her corrosion peeling leprous motor which now looks, thanks to diesel brushings, as do the tools, almost normal. We spend 6h a day onboard either together or separately. The whole diesel tank got pulled out, cleansed and put back in. I mostly need to deal with the yard people, and those to whom we need to transfer money to in order to benefit from the Fx rates-my contact, has lost quite a bit in the stanford Bank debacle and I've no news as to my transfers yet but have decided not to stress before knowing anything. If things get out of hand I'll abort everything and come home to Switzerland tanned instead of doing my atlantic crossing in April as planned.

Arya, I am following your adventures. Has march been a lion or lamb? Wish I could lend my old diesel hands. Run safe. Tami
