We’re Still In Toronto

NO MOTOR IN THE HOLE


*******Abrakadabra *****


A BRAND NEW YANMAR MOTOR IN THE HOLE

With much much thought, consternation, researching, asking people opinions, turmoil, worry, mind changing, phone calls, web surfing, motor looking, and then more thought, consternation, researching, etc. we are now the proud owners of a Brand New Yanmar Diesel Motor. Now the job is to get it to fit in the place where the old motor was when it is bigger than the old one. Anthony, Charles (mechanic) and Evan (mechanic’s helper) have been grinding the inside of the motor room to make more room for the new motor, also the propeller shaft has to be moved up and the shaft hole has to made higher on the hull.


This is Charles from EC Marine guiding our new motor into the cockpit of our boat.





The boat has been taking up a lot of our mind space but we have kept busy with other activities. On Friday nights at the Club (LSYC) we have been playing guitar and singing with other members and friends.
This is Boden playing his mandolin, and Anthony playing guitar and singing. It has been great fun jamming on Friday nights at the boat club (LSYC). Last night we had 10 people singing with us. It was Caribbean Night at the club, Larry and Barb Large made a fabulous meal for 66 people, jerk chicken, pork, ox tail, rice, bread, punch, rum cake, fruit salad.








We visited a friend’s cottage near Dorset on Otter Lake or Toch Lake, just 3 miles outside of Dorset.
