[PUP] Fuel leak and eating crow on pepper spray

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

Hi Dave -
 
Sorry to hear of the fuel tank problem. Damn steel tanks are the  Devil's 
work aren't they?
 
Penny and I hope to see you and Nancy again this season. Carnival is early  
this year so we should be sailing by mid-February. 
 
On another note, you'll recall that we differed, a few months back, on the  
legality of pepper spray in EC countries; I said I'd report as we visited.  I 
did call Chag (Trinidad) Customs the other day to see if we could bring  pepper 
spray into the country and were told, "No! Don't bring pepper spray  here!" 
However, this was quickly followed by, "But you can bring a  firearm!" Gotta 
love the Trinis! I'll report on the other island nations as  we visit in early 
'08.
 
Best,
 
John

>John, we hope to run into you sometime this winter/spring in the  Eastern
Caribbean. Heck maybe you can make a swing thru the Venezuelan Out  islands
on your way back to Trinidad.

>We're chained to the dock  here in Puerto La Cruz while I tackle a leaking
fuel tank issue that just  cropped up. We were provisioned and ready to leave
for our 6-8 month  "Caribbean Cruise '08" when I found a wet spot on the
bottom of our 475  gallon port tank. Stuff happens and we'll see what we need
to do during this  week. A quick repair or a lengthy  replacement.
