Engine Troubles

On Tuesday we woke up to a beautiful morning in Grand Case with a rainbow across the horizon. Went for a quick swim then prepared Faraway for a sail down to Marigot to get the engine fixed. We had to go to Ance Marsel (Radisson Marina) first to clear out of the French side. This proved tricky as we couldn’t turn the engine off and had to anchor in the bay while Ian took the ships papers and our passports in for clearance. There were some tense moments as the engine chugged along and we watched our position to make sure we weren't shifting anchor. Little did we know but the tension was about to get a whole lot worse.
