After a rebuild of the intercooler Dennis made another sea trial and everything checked out. Here are his words: "Today 29/8/10 we launched Tijereta into small craft warnings. We were one of two boats out. We got her up on a plane at 3300 we were doing 18 to 19 knots and 170 degrees temp. It tops out at 20+/- knots but the over heating is gone. We beat around in the slop and caught four bonitas and decided to pack it in after about three hours. I believe we are in business.

Dear Friends of Guatemala,
We are really scratching bottom here trying to get
some resources to repair bridges. We have built many bridges with PAVA
over the years but the hurricane Agatha was so intense that it took away
many bridges that withstood all the previous storms of the past few
years.
In a word Guatemala is impassable. We don't have
reliable access of the main highways to the boarders. The access from
village to village is impossible probably 90% of the highlands. All of
these isolated people have lost access to basic services, and to
markets. We are doing an emergency food supply ( two weeks worth ) to
the villages that we are presently working with. That alone is setting
us back on our budget. We very urgently want to attack the access
problems especially the fallen bridges we built years ago. In the mean
time it's mud, mud everywhere. If any of you have any ideas of where we
can get help or donations please write back , or send donations to:
