Back to the Rio Dulce

6-29-91 - Floyd - Passage back to Rio Dulce
Underway again for the river, the wind has died but on the nose, of course, out of the SE, just as well as we are motoring. Sir Perkins seems to be better on the oil. Arrive over the bar at dusk. All our plans are up in the air, can Charles make the turnaround if we fix the chain plate, or can Larry come down with parts, should I go to Roatan to fix the boat? More inspection reveals more cracked fittings.
6-30-91 - Floyd - Rio Dulce
Larry can’t go, Charles can’t stay everything needs to be replaced, even a passage to Roatan seems risky, better to leave the boat in the womb and fly back for parts. Miami will have to wait for Nov, because our "Guatemalan Experience" is not yet finished. We are out of Livingston by 11am and to Manana at 1530, we flew. Within ½ hour Charles has made me a list of materials that I’ll need, he is amazing.
