We left Roseau to head for Portsmouth Harbour -- about a 3 hour run. We decided to stop for lunch at a small anchorage called Castaways which was supposed to have some good snorkelling. It was lucky we did. Our ever-so-reliable generator was belching out great gouts of white smoke. Out came the manual and we diagnosed hot exhaust or hot engine. No obvious breakages so it had to be a blockage. Chris finally found a great plug of twigs and weed in a hose. Drama over but too late to go to Portsmouth. We decided to stay at our mooring and had a pleasant afternoon and evening snorkelling, eating and watching Bringing up Baby.
