You see the monohull to the left of Dream Catchers flag....
The marina put both of our boats on one ball because they didn't
have a second one available, and because two other boats were suppose
to be leaving. The two other boats changed their minds so we
stayed on one ball. In meantime, we go to town and upon our return
the owner of the monohull told Gary that his boat and Gary's boat had tapped.
No damage was done. Anyway, while we were in town the other two boats left
so we decided to move Gary's boat if our package didn't come in, if it
did then we were just going to leave....
So in meantime, we are back on our boats and all of a sudden there is
a lot of water coming out of Gary's thru-hull, and I hear Gary yelling Lynn
can you come over here!
I get there and we find his thru-hull had snapped from "wear and tear"
at the base of the hull and water was just gushing in! Luckily we came
back when we did....who knows what we would have been facing!
(This is a picture of ours so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about -
the elbow here is the thru-hull and it snapped where you see all the
corrosion...needless to say, we will be pulling our boat again next year
and replacing our own!)
I meantime, him and Bob are trying to figure out how to fix this issue
until Gary can fix it properly....So they are deciding which dowel will fit
in the hole from the outside because the hole on the inside is to fragile
to be putting to much force on it....
So it's time for Bob to go into the water....he's taking the dowels
with him and going to figure out which would be the better fix....
Bobby loves the water....only a little warmer though!
Gary is inside banging on the hull so Bob can find the hole easier...
They've decided which dowel will work the best and now they are
cutting it to size....
They drilled a hole in the middle of the dowel once it was cut to size,
ran a stainless steel bolt through the middle of it with caulking around it
to keep it from leaking and then ran a piece of stainless steel wire
at the tip of it to attach to the hull once the hole was jammed with the dowel...
pretty ingenious huh! It worked!
I don't know Derek....and his has a light also!
Meet Lady Catherine out of Newport

Our sunset with Dream Catcher!
All is quiet and peaceful (for the moment!)
Well our parts came in but we never left! By the time we got everything under control it was too late to leave, so we took a nap, then went back into town for another walk. It was a beautiful day today, and in the end, things turned out wonderfully! And yes, our parts did come in! We are leaving in the a.m. Should be in Georgia by the end of the day!
