The engine installation finally completed last Saturday, it all seemed to take a long time and we had to wait for a slot for the boat to be lifted to change the propellor.  Jean-Paul, Ramon, Mikail and Joel from Mechanique Plaisance in Marin were very good.  And also of course Armelle who so efficiently sorted out our spares and everything for the new engine. We spent a lot of our time in Marin buying things from the excellent chandlers.  Anne at the Carenantilles yard kindly arranged our berthing.

Also took the opportunity to sew some slip covers for the saloon cushions using the new sewing machine.
