We are off to another island in the Caribbean! But first we need to figure out what the problem is with our motor. Herby is a lot of things, but he’s not an electrician, which makes trouble-shooting an electric motor a bit tricky. Can we fix it? We set sail for a new destination: St. Thomas! Once we get there we change out our flags and enjoy a pizza from the floating pizza restaurant in our little cove.
