Mechanic On Duty

"Ok, I think I've found your problem. You need to put the motor propellers *into* the water to make the boat go."
"That'll be three pounds of fresh fish. No checks."

Not sure hiring the blue heron for your boat mechanic is the smartest move made at the inlet this afternoon.
But... I suppose if he gets your boat running, you can head out and hopefully catch his fee, which seems quite reasonable to me.
