Lucky for me happened going in to San Nic
I had the same problem going in a few years ago. Got it all fixed up in San Nicolas. Hope I never have to pull it out that road. Sorry for your
miss fortune Vagabundo, Will you rebuild?

That looks like Culberto gassing the generator? No we won't rebuild. (Nothing to do with 'berto!)
After fourteen years of never losing ANYTHING off the property it was amazing how a natural disaster brought out the "looter" in people. I gave away
much of what was left, and cut a deal with Chuy for my own personal fishing guide for who knows how long in exchange for the doors, windows and
anything else of value.
(I am not saying that it was my Mexican neighbors who took things from the wreckage. From what I could learn, it was pretty clear that that was NOT
the case.)

That is one fantastic repair job on that trailer, and it looks like it was all done without duct tape!
Really sorry about the looting---that is rotten.

Parts missing
Sorry to hear that. I experienced some of the same. My partner picked up the engine after the flood and brought it home for repairs. The mechanic
hear called and told me that the coils and a few other parts were gone. Those parts were there in July! Before that I received three calls from
friends reporting my boat was being used by the locals. The 3rd caller reported it being towed in with at least 5 people on board. That was the
reason to bring it home for repairs. I guess they needed those parts more than me! Going to bring the motor back and forth in the future. I pay
them to take me most of the time anyway.
We got lucky in the storm that was for sure.

Interesting that you should say that your boat had been used. I had reason to believe that that may have been the case with me too. I had a repaired
prop on the engine, and I'd swear I couldn't find any evidence of repair on the one I found on the engine. Might be just my general feeling of
mis-trust right now. I could only get information in Spanish, or from my closest neighbor, and as you probably know, his lights are on, but there is a
bit of a reality disconnect.
