Yesterday (Tuesday), we pulled into Southside Marina for outboard repairs. A local outboard guy named Vincent came down to the boat – we were hopeful. The hopes soon waned as he asked for the manual and didn’t have any parts with him. $160 later – the outboard wasn’t repaired and Michael (with the help of Simon) took it to a Yamaha dealer. (We’re sure this will be at least another $160). Plus now we have to add the cost of a night at the marina.
We await word this morning from the shop. Simon (think Austin Powers but older and taller) is quite helpful and kindly offered us his own outboard until we return Sunday to the marina. We have friends, Dave and Lorna, coming from Ohio for a visit – that’s why we’re scrambling to get everything in running order. We can’t do much without an outboard.
So we’re asking everyone to send us positive energy and prayers for a positive outboard repair.
