boat, and lossage

[nosrednayduj]

We had the first ski ride of the season today. The wind had picked up by the time we actually got going, so it was kind of crummy conditions. Also, the boat was behaving kind of oddly. Eventually we pulled up the motor and looked at the propeller and one of the blades was MISSING. How did that happen? I don't remember hitting anything. Could be that it was damaged slightly earlier, and it just took a while for something to rattle free and fall off, and it did that while I was driving down from the boat launch ramp to the house. So now I have to figure out how to get a new propeller, and exactly what to get. Here's hoping the tariff-induced shortages have not started yet.
