While on anchor in Lake Sylvia, Fort Lauderdale we were absolutely delighted by a surprise visit from our "London" friend, Henry Michielsen.
Henry hailed Barry from shore as Barry was working on our dinghy's outboard motor.
The transom hold-down bolts were seized. As well, the carburetor was plugged.
Repairs continue on our dinghy as we glue down parts that take leave and patch holes that have her deflating. Definitely an on-going project.
Thanks for the photos Henry.
While in Fort Lauderdale, the hose on our Sea Frost refrigeration let go. Barry spent a day on shore with a taxi driver attempting to find someone who might be able to repair the hose. In the end, a replacement hose was ordered from Sea Frost in New Hampshire. (shipping - 4 days)
Our efforts to find a marina that would take delivery of the package for us were in vain. If you're not paying for a slip with them, they were unable to offer assistance. Many thanks to Henry's girlfriend, Gaetane for agreeing to take delivery of the hose. What a lucky treat for us to have friends nearby willing to offer a hand.
Watch for "Under Repair - 3" ....nobody said it would be easy.
