We woke up early as I wanted to get a mooring as there were none left last night... so I spotted a couple of cats leaving early so I said to Joyce..... Lets get going and grab those moorings. So off we go. barily a coffee and no broffee, so off we go chasing for that mooring. I am at the bow ready to grab the mooring and Joyce is at the helm, we have our headsets on and all I can hear in the headset is "For Fu#$@'s Sake" What Joyce? "The motor quick" "What!? So I rechecked the fuel as I switched back to the Starboard tank when we ran out yesterday thinking it was a dirty filter but now we were out of fuel. Had to change tanks and both filters while we dropped the anchor where we were. She grabbed which was good...as we were moving back on to other boats in the mooring field. While I was changing the filters, Joyce saw a snorkeler around the boat and he popped up and she said hi and indicated we were having engine issues so we just dropped our anchor right here.... he said he could check our anchor if you wish... She said sure. Off he goes....while he is doing that, Scott gets finished and we try the engine...Yeah.. it goes. Meanwhile our new French friend is diving on our anchor checking it. He comes back and says we have a good hold but pushed it in just in case. We thanked him dearly. 2 mins later we lifted up to grab another mooring that just came free as we lost the first 2. Felt kinda bad since he dove about 45 feet to check it. Off we go. We got a mooring now. It was not long till we got in the dingy to town and in to make up time for the lack of Broffee that we didn't have in the morning. WE spent the next several days in the Saintes enjoying our walks each morning and the french cafes at night. The food, music and shopping here is great but expensive since they are dealing in euros. Ut wasnt to long before we hauled anchor and headed for Guadalupe.
