Update June 28, 2021:

Boat repairs continue as you can see here on the IMS Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/444644079017550?sorting_setting=CHRONOLOGICAL.  Unfortunately the boat suffered some damage going past Belize on the way to Guatemala so that's been the focus lately, doing the necessary repairs while we have the parts and are tied up to a dock from which to get electricity.  While boat repairs are usually never easy or quick, Eric and Mary have been able to come up with innovative ways to get them done.  At present, their biggest dilemma (or should I say "smallest") is a rat that has gotten onboard.  While a rat in a house on land could possibly do some damage, having one on a boat is not good.  They can squeeze into areas that are very difficult for a person to fit in, and thus cause damage that may not be noticed until something stops working.  Penny, the boat's dog, has been doing her best to find the rodent, but as of this weekend it continues to elude her.  Traps of various types are being tried as this rat has got to be found before it does something irreparable.
