Hi Friends, since a couple of weeks we are based in Grenada for some work on the Boat, also i will make some money for buying a new Outborder, the old one starts to be a bitch.....
When we arrived the first time Grenada we stay just for a week or so, bring some stuff for repair to workshops and finally we finished the new Insulation on our freezer. Then we sail back to Carriacou which was a hard try, and join the Carriacou regatta, we did all three races but finally we lose, by a really bad racing vallue from our old Lady.
But anyway it was a lot of Fun include all the Parties.
After the race Angie join a other Boat to sail back to Grenada and from there with Michael SY. Mariposa to meet me again in Petit sv Vincent, during this time i was back in Mayreau for celebrating a Birthday Party with other German Friends we meet them before in Grenada. After Angie was still back on Board we did three Dives with Arawak Dive Center in Tyrell bay Carriacou, one was our first Drift Dive round the Sisters in front of Carriacou, great Expirience.
Now we are back in Grenada after a smooth gentlemen sai, and checking up the first Tropical Hurrican Bill with is not dangerous for us here, but by the way it is interesting to track them.
Im still working for Money on other Boats, new Windless and other stuff, so the work on my own Staff is still not finished but on the way. Angies Sister will meet us in the End of August so the Boat must be ready for small Toerns may be back to the Tobago Cays for snorkeling and shure Chris and Cris are still waiting for us to have some Parties.

We arrived Bequia after a 12 Hour Trip direct from the South End of St. lucia, the one and only lovely Anker Spot is full with Boats, so we ankered on the End of this Fleet..
it is a really wonderfull Island with clear water and a nice waterfront. Back on the Boat we check our Internet Connection to our prefered Provider HotHotHot... , but bad, no connection from here, so we reankered our Boat more inside, short time later a Boatboy informed us, that we are to close to his public Mooring..., so we reankered again and again, bad holding, to close toa Mooring and so on, we ended up on a good spot with Connection but our Engine become Hot and start to smell with a lot of smog also. So quick stop the Engine and check up whats going on, in the Engine Room a lot of water from the Exhaust System, no working Engine now, three btoken Bolts on the Cooling System with connecy the Exhaust to the Engine head.
We informed our Neighboors that we have right now no Engine and our Ancor was not perfect.
On Saturday we decide, lets go direct to Grenada and find a Workshop that repairs our Engine.
Our new friends from France will come with us on Monday after checking out, it will be a have Day trip without Engine so it is better to have frinds with us in case of Emergency.

During Saturday our neighboors inforor us, that on this Island is a perfect Motor Engineer from Ferarri Motors, so we decide before checkout the Boat on Monday lets talk to this Guy, maybe he can help us.
On monday Morning I visit the Workshop Simpson Engneering Ltd. Robin the Boss a verzy friendly Guy will visit a half past eleven. So back to the Boat and waiting, no words perfect in Time he comes with a Dinghy and check up our Problem, he said no Problem at all, just drilling out the old Bolts making new Bolts not more than two Hours, that sounds great or not...., so okay lets start the work on late afternoon, so it was. He finished the drilling Job in less one Hour and informed us he will be back on Tuesday with the new Bolts.
Tuesday he comes with the new Screws screwed it in and informed us that we can remount the Exhaust System on Wednesday what we do.
On the End we are very Happy to stay on this Island with a perfect Service it can not be better. The Engine is still running and we can enjoy the Paradise again. Next week we will sail Tobago keys for diving.
