No, not another boat but another lure! We had our last wobbler out and around 30 Min. late the reel ran out and the rod was bending down heavily.

Outside you do not need a torch at all. This morning we finished the self made bread and now we run the engines for an hour to make hot water since it is SHOWER-DAY! YEAH! Only 2 more showers until St. Lucia! According to t...
