Friday, June 24, 2016 Prideaux Haven to Squirrel Cove 1 1/2 hours 12.7 miles

We need internet service to pay bills.  There is free Wi-Fi at the laundry at Squirrel Cove.  We are anchored in the protected bay beyond the small wharf.  The store here has one of everything.   We took our sputtering dinghy over to the dock. Of course we re-stocked the ice cream.  Fred ordered the spark plugs we need and a spark plug socket.  He spoke to a mechanic who was at the store and he they figured that there might be water in the fuel.  We have encountered an enormous amount of rain.  Fred thought that idea has merit.  He added StaBal (it emulsifies the water so it will mix with the fuel and go through the engine without harming anything) to the fuel tank and then filled up with fresh fuel.  It seems to have worked.  The engine is running much smoothly now.
