still 107 miles to go

The night was just beautiful. I spent it reading the engine  manual, because it got overheated – well, luckily, I checked its diodes, because the alarm got broken at La Reunion... I turned it off, obviously, and then I started to worry. I waited for it to cool down. While waiting, I fixed my head lamp (I couldn’t open the wretched thing and change batteries), I read a bit and stared at some diagrams. Not feeling any wiser, I started working on the engine... so far it works.
It will be OK (if not, I will not stand it:) )
The following day I saw Barbados on my port side!
