Excellent fun! They gave you good water safety gear too. Also, I'm glad your chain replacement solved the grinding noise. That seems a bit expensive though, Ack! A RUclipsd chain replacement in a tiny village of So. America was done by removing the master link, connecting the new chain to the end of the old chain (by master link), then rolling the tire to draw the old chain off the drive sprocket and draw the new chain onto the drive sprocket. Reattach the master link...presto! New chain installed in about 15 minutes. It looked like a simple method, even an old guy like me could do it. I enjoy your excursions, thanks for sharing.
