South Port Marine to Chandlers Cove

We planned to pick up a mooring at Chandlers Cove for lunch but availability was questionable. Explored mooring fields on return trip underway while having lunch. Heard radio reports of a boat fire and a sailboat dismasting. Engine ran rough at idle speed (found later that fuel pick-up tube in port aft tank was taking in air at fitting and had it replaced with new Moeller assembly).
