TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Anyone flying to SXM before JUNE 2nd?

I was going to leave St. Martin yesterday and sail to St. Lucia; but when I turned on the engine the main alternator did not work. I've now spent a day working on trying to remove the alternator and diagnose the problem and I think I've now found the culprit, the voltage regulator. But since the voltage regulator is for 28V I can't find it at the usual car parts stores here on the island. If I use the normal shipping method with the LCL shippers, it won't get here on time - unfortunately I need to catch a flight in St. Lucia because I have to pick up and deliver a boat for the Newport-Bermuda race.

I have found the regulator with next-day-shipping in the USA and if anyone here would be willing to bring the regulator it would solve a lot of my problems. The regulator is small, about the size of a small pad of Post-It notes and not much heavier...
