Friday morning found us ready t0 launch. Dorothy drove the motorhome with the boat to the sling while Eldor went to the office to make arrangements for launch. Things went well and Dorothy had the boat backed in the sling before Eldor was finished in the office. It's little scary when they lift the boat and you hear all the creaking and groaning. All was well when the boat went in the water but then they began to fall apart!
Eldor started the motor to move to our slip and the motor poured out fuel and was making quite a slick. An outboard motor mechanic was called to come and get our motor. It was surprising how quickly he came. Just a little over a $100 and a little time and we had it back.(We weren't leaving without a motor!) While we were waiting, Eldor decided to flush our internal water tank. Again all was going well until he got distracted and overfilled the tank. We had to take everything to out and dry it off.
We enjoyed visiting with old friends and making new ones.
