we're on the boat in another country. We have a dinghy for a car. We have the VHF and SSB for phones. We keep a cooler full of beer, and a compartment full of rum. We fix the boat all the time. Why just the other day, as I recall we were at anchor with the raw water pump apart. So we're in a slip for a while . .so what! I'm sewing, your tweeking things . .as far as I'm concerned, we're still in the game.
