DELAY FOR RAYMARINE

There has been a slight change of plans: a few days delay before heading Northwest to Barra.

The reason is simple - Paul runs a charter business here and has a Raymarine technician flying in from the US to repair his defective electronics, under warranty; we have a Raymarine chartplotter with a defective zoom control - ours is under warranty too.

So we wait. In the meantime, Adrienne bakes chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, and bread. I am completing the wiring installation of the GPS and another backup GPS, for position finding.

Bread's ready for tasting! I had better go.
