Well, I think perhaps we should carry on regardless and perhaps head West and spend a couple of lazy days in the San Blas Islands. Then perhaps head through the ditch through the Isthmus of P. and spend some time cruising the ports of the West coast of South America. Then head for the Antipodes (colloquially speaking, of course.) Should be able to find a dry dock somewhere for our Christmas lay-up and by that time, hopefully, we'll have
Red back aboard.
