WESTWARD HO

Monday July 17, 2023

We’re back on the road.  We decided to cover the damage with duct tape and keep going.  

Here’s what happened:

On Sunday, we spoke to our home marina, and our service manager wasn’t concerned.  But we decided to seek an expert opinion on Monday

*We broke the boat on Saturday

*So, today – Monday, we backtracked east through three locks, but found that none of the boatyards in the area were qualified to help. 

*So.. we simply turned around and headed back to Riverlink Park in Amsterdam.  We will go west for two more days to a boatyard that is very highly recommended.  That will happen Thursday afternoon or Friday morning.  

And the boat is running fine.  Duct tape cures everything.  It’s like putting a Band-Aid on a cut: once I can’t see it, it stops hurting.
