To my own surprise most workers showed up today ...
"My" guy Tony was a no show so was the rigger ...
I started working on the heads (after "finishing" the outboard over the past couple of days - Fritz and I got into it last May and dismanteled the thing pretty much .... Fritz always seems to find a way to get you in some sort of trouble it seems ..)
Anyway - The new aft tank seems to fit "perfect" - not sure how to mount it properly yet ...
In the front, the new tank I bought a couple years ago dosn't seem to fit right (benetau original replacement tank) - Therfore, I think I might try to repair the old tank (the old uniot seems to have a leak on the vent fitting ) and dump the new unit (Tony is probabaly going to want to use the new tank for his garage or so - I'm pretty sure he'll find some use for it)
still no pictures sorry - but I charged the camera today and it seems to work "now"

So I arrived Sunday night - really more like Monday early morning in Trinidad.
The current plan is to work on the boat for 2 weeks , then go in the water on March 2nd , sail for 10 weeks or so and then return to Trinidad by May 15 ...
Actually Jill won't arrive in Trinidad until the day before we go into the water...
...
It looks like won't sail up to the BVI this year .. we where supposed to to sail with our neighbors around the BVI for 7-10 days - but there plans have changed, and they won't be able to make it this year...
I believe at this point the only commitment have is for one of Jill's friend from Hawaii to join us for a week or so around Guadeloupe ...
It is my understanding that Becky is as " crazy" as Jill about snorkeling and fish...
No pictures as for now, as our "last year" camera seems to have issues ....But don't worry we already bought another water camera for Jill - this time including a real dive case - hopefully the one will last a bit longer ( on the other hand I have to say that Jill probably get's more underwater time our of all these cameras then anybody else IN THE UNIVERSE )

I got an e-mail from Fritz today ...
I guess after a few weeks of massaging his butt in the Andes on horseback, he decided it was time for a climate change...
He'll be in St Lucia on Friday and will join us for the reminder of the trip (I assume ??)
If everything goes according to plan, we should meet up with him in Marigot Bay Friday night.
I'll keep you posted....
