A whole week In St Thomas

We have been hanging around St Thomas for a week now. It’s been pretty busy.
The first night we were here we couldn’t get the dinghy engine started. The next day I found it didn’t have spark. That meant we had to row for 5 days until I purchased a new dinghy engine.  I did find a new dingyy engine. It’s a six hp Evinrude. It works great. Gets a lot better gas mileage, it's quieter and starts better.
I should have got that one in the first place. 
The other thing that happened this week was I left my MacBook Air on a bus down here. When we found the correct bus, all that was left was the dry bag the Macbook Air was in. I called up Matt, my son, who works in Apple support.
He was able to locate it and showed me how to locate it myself.
The first day I called the cops and we tried to get it back but the person that had it shut it off before we could get there. The second day I saw they powered it back on and we went to the house with the cops. They said they didn’t have it, but after the cops dropped us off we got a call from them telling us that the person who’s house we were at called them and was bringing the lap top in.
The dad at that house talked with his son and found they had the laptop and he was going to make the correct move and turn it in. The cops down here did a wonderful job. I didn’t think they would take as much interest in this case as they did. But they really put effort in to recovering the laptop. 
Other than that we have been getting the boat ready for Amanda’s visit. She comes down for a week on Sunday and we are very excited to see her.
