and the fun continues.....

Chris and Les have finally arrived and of course we've put them to work.

Installing Lowrance behind the hatch

I didn't get out of painting the dinghy this year, Anita wouldn't come down to do it for me.

I don't think I really needed 2 supervisors

And for added fun I cleaned the dock box that had been stored in the dinghy. Apparently the dinghy was just as dirty but the boys didn't take photos to prove it so we'll have to take their word that they had cleaned it.

Experimented with cleaners, used toilet bowl cleaner on the left

bleach on the right

Bleach turned out to be the best option

Just before we launched the dinghy the boys thought it best to install better bunks.

Time to launch the dinghy

launching with me at the wheel - yikes

We don't have too many flat tires but when we do they're a bitch. Last time we were miles away and couldn't get the tire off. This time we weren't nearly as far and called Gary for help. He brought more tools but it wasn't enough and he had to drive us home.

tire was totally slashed by a sharp branch

While all this was going on Chris and I abandoned them and walked to the beach

Les and Gerry gathered more tools and went back to wrestle it off. It took most of the afternoon! Never Seize will be put on the lug nuts so hopefully this will not happen again.
