Mission Accomplished
Although, not quite as smoothly as I had hoped, but still, the roof is patched for winter and the outhouse roof is covered as well. At a meeting for local lighthouse owners/managers (my first attending one of these) Saturday, us newbies were introduced and asked what our biggest current challenges are. Naturally, I replied transportation! I’m seriously beginning to think I’m cursed when it comes to boats. The new boat died right around the exact same place the old boat died on one of its first attempts out. Try as we might, we couldn’t get it to start again. That’s what I get for being optimistic! (j/k - I don’t intend to change that aspect of my personality) Luckily, we still managed to accomplish our goals for the day despite it all. Now I’m on the hunt for a good reasonably priced outboard mechanic to check stuff out.
I’m soooo glad we still managed to get out as I think that may have been the last warm-ish day this winter. Now to wait out the next couple months. Well, except I can’t because I still have to figure out how to pull the old boat out of its slip and to the forklift area at the marina! The water was beautiful in the morning with a fog hanging off in the distance and not a boat in sight. It would have been nice to cherish the peace and having the Bay to ourselves if not for the (normal to me at this point) stress of being dead in the water waiting for a tow. Again.
