Excitement before trip

nosrednaydujSo I'm going to miss a hurricane, Henri, which will arrive Sunday. So instead of working this morning, I helped with hurricane prep. We decided that the sick boat would rather ride out the storm on land.
It was much harder to get it started than we expected, but eventually we did get going, at 10mph, made it to the launch ramp without having to paddle. Got it out. Trying the trailer from the old boat. Not exactly fitting, but good enough for the short drive home.
I called boat places about repair for this season, but no dice yet. Maybe by the time I get home, it'll be time to look for a place to sell a brand new motor and get it installed over the winter.
