Our new adventure
our new hosts,
What a wonderful feeling to have friends like the Lockharts. When they learned of our situation they invited us to join them on their boat. What a nice and warm gesture, we could not refuse their offer and are looking forward to sailing with them to who knows where!!!!. Things do happen for a reason and this feels good.
PS: Ray the med doesn't sound bad ha ha

The turning point
Packing up the boat
It was a hard week. we decided to haul out the boat and bring it back to shediac. Marigot needs open heart surgery. Ah well everything happens for a reason, that is what people tell us. I can't wait to see what the reason is.

Boothbay 3
Sylvie and Diane
Wednesday the weather is clear, we are saying goodby to some friends and are heading to Boston.
more engine problems
On our way out of the harbour, we notice that the engine doesn't feel right. it seems to be labouring alot. We can't get the spped we should be without pushing the little diesel too hard. We had to turn around. maybe we have something caught underneath???
Marigot
I dove underneath and everything is clean, great antifouling by the way CSC. I check the oil pressure and it seems a little bit low. I wonder if we havn't worn out the rings when we lost the oil the last time. If the rings are a bit worn the lost of pressure in the cylinder would explain the lack of power????? After checking the motor out and talking with the people at the marina, we come to the conclusion that the diesel needs a motor job! We will need to take her out of the water and bring her back to Canada. Stay tuned for part two of the adventure because i promised sylvie that we weren't staying in Canada we will figure something out. Maybe we will hitch a ride with somebody for a few month's?, Panama for spanish lessons? who knows?

It's 2300 and you want me to row back to the boat ha ha ha ha! ah te pas ben. So we left the dock and ran out of fuel. I had to row back!!!! I wonder if Sylvie didn't symphon some of the fuel?????

Parti pour Boston????
Nous Partons
Quelle belle journee, nous partons pour Boston vers midi, nous avions prevu partir vers 9heures mais la @$$%&%#@^** shaft nous a donne des problemes. Marco a driller dans la shaft et remi les boulons. Ca devrait marcher cet fois si
Nous revenons!!!!!
Ah merde!!! nous etions 35 miles au large lorsque nous avons senti quelque chose qui n'etait pas correct. Le moteur a decide de se vider de son huile, plus de moteur #^%&(*^&$#%^. Nous avons fait demi-tour et partons a lavoile pour Boothbay. Il y a seulement 5 noeuds de vents donc ca nous a pris 14 heures a retourner a Boothbay. Une fois dans la bay, nous avons appelle TowBoatUS et il ont venu nous chercher. Une chance que nous avions prit leur assurance si non ca nous aurait coute $240.
