Well, we got a dinghy.  And it quit on Stephen the first time he took it out!  That little speck in the pic, a long ways from the marina, yep, that's Stephen, rowing the dinghy back. He did have his vhf and would have called to get a tow, but thankfully a nice couple gave him a hand and delivered him safely! The motor is now at the shop - we are looking forward to getting it back so we can explore the little islands around.
