Out of Commission..

and out of the water...and the suspense mounts. 

Will the issue  be serious? Will it cost an arm and a leg to fix? Can it even be fixed? New boats are very expensive, so all fingers are crossed...Yes, it is an old boat, but it is a nostalgic boat for my brother; our parents had a Grew just like it and it brings back fond memories for him...

My brother and I were in town to do some shopping and a few errands; as my brother is boat-less at the moment, my daughter had come down to our cottages to provide taxi service for us and had dropped us off at the marina. Our first stop, of course, was to see what was happening with his boat... and the answer was" Nothing so far"..they had just taken it out of the water and had not yet started the investigation...so the waiting continues..

We were hoping to beat the rain that was forecast, but did not, and it was a deluge!  When it was time to return to the cottage, it was still pouring buckets, so we treated ourselves to lunch at a new restaurant down at the cruise boat wharf...as had every other shopper in town! It was a long wait to get a table, but the alternative of boating in that rain would have been worse... and the fresh pickerel dinner for which this place is famous, more than made up for the delay in getting home.

Boating can be fun..but not always...
