Update June 12, 2021 (Update from Mary):

The heat takes a lot of getting used to and it definitely  affects the amount of work that can be accomplished in a day. We were used to working at any hour but now have to limit ourselves to around 1:00, by then the heat is really intense and just takes all the strength out of you. 

We are happy to say that the two major repairs  (refrigeration  and autopilot) have been completed  and  the only major one left is the rewiring of the anchor windlass. It keeps throwing a breaker when we start pulling the chain and anchor up. Please pray that it is simply wiring and not something  we can't get parts for.

Once our projects/repairs are finished, we will be praying for opportunities to serve. It is possible  we may be here till September due to hurricane season and very unfavorable  traveling conditions at this time of year.

Penny is taking her job of guarding the boat very seriously. She is learning  the difference  between a boat that's passing close by and one coming to stop here.  She barks when she needs to which is good, we want it known there is a dog on board to prevent theft. The motor and dingy are hauled out of the water every evening for safekeeping but it does get a bit taxing. 

We just had our first heavy rainstorm this evening and caught about 20 gallons of water. I use 10 gallons for laundry every day and it adds up. I would love to catch rainwater every day!

Please be in prayer for stamina, acclimating to this area/heat/culture and for opportunities to be prepared for us to serve Christ and make Him known.
