Rain Rain Rain. Lazy quiet morning on the boat as we worked on computers and made plans and enquiries to get the outboard looked at / repaired. Greg spoke to Sherwood Marine on Vancouver Island who had serviced OF's outboard last year and they were very helpful and accommodating and said that they could get to it in a timely fashion. (Unlike the Bellingham operation who told us "maybe end of May"!). Tim at NWE hooked us up with Ron who manages the office in Sidney and so it looks like we're going to Sidney tomorrow. Sherwood even said they could (for a small extra fee) deliver the outboard to us in Tod Inlet …… (?!?!?!?!?) Deliver? WOW.

We had decided to head over to Robin & Crane for lunch today - it's the restaurant at the Marina. OF picked us up and we were all in our Alaska gear - rain pants, rain jacket, and rain hats. It just stopped raining right before they picked us up and didn't rain the whole time we were there or came back. That's what good rain gear does - acts as good insurance.

Lovely yummy lunch. Back to OF to look at water pumps and water pressure. And then we brought their dinghy back to SB to hang out again. The wind threatened to come back for awhile, but then went away again which was nice. More work on the manuals etc etc. Then eventually back to OF again for Bob's Fajita dinner. Enough food for 12 more people and very yummy. Then a couple of episodes of Bosch. For Karen of course
