The long and the short shaft of it...

Good news and bad news from Charlevoix: Good news: The boat can be fixed, realigned, and so forth. The bad news is that the prop shaft is bent which is the ultimate cause of the vibrations in the first place. New shaft will take a week.

That's right a WEEK!

Now the challenge to the trip is to not have Scott's head explode during the coming week.

Stay tuned for more!

All this talk of shafts just reminds me of work - in more ways than one....

Persevere, oh mighty sailors. The GLF can keep up it's rhetoric, but we all know that there ain't no friendly ports with repair shops in the desert! (At least not any that wouldn't demand Sue & a goat as payment)

I have visions of Enie Marie suspended in the air, engine parts on the ground, and Gracie looking over the side at solid ground, but she cannot reach it.

How sad! Neither at sea or on land.
