Free Std Check Sydney

As mentioned in my last post, we had booked a mechanic who would come on board to do some minor repairs. On Sunday evening, it has confirmed that he would be on board on Monday morning at 09:30. We waited all day but new Todd .... We learned he was an alcoholic and had an arm in plaster! We checked with the owner of a marina nearby if he could send a mechanic the next morning (Tuesday) to check the possibility of installing extra batteries for the fridge. They came to take two steps to the cables needed, given that we buy the batteries at this marina. Luke thought that measurement of 14 feet they said they needed was not just. They are made to recalculate agree that it was 28 feet ....!!!!! After an hour, they returned to their marina to inform us they did not have spinning. Ouch ...... So, the bill for their valuable time amounted to $ 150 with no improvement whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Luke had joined to see if Todd would come on board on Tuesday morning. The latter confirmed that he would be there at 14:30. At 16:30, it always shone by its absence. So to summarize, four days in a marina to wait for anything.
During the afternoon, I was on the front of the boat and I heard speak French. Two adults, 3 teenagers were accompanied on the platform in front of Blue Max. In chatting, I learn so that they come from VASSAN. Stéphane Gauthier worked at Navy and Nancy (I think) is employed Values Desjardins Estate in Val-d'Or. We invited them on board and this exchange was very pleasant. This Saturday night we were treated to a parade of boats all lit up, followed by a fireworks display quite exceptional. All for free.

Wednesday morning, we left Little Current to join Takita II, Tadpole and we waited about two hours later. We anchored for two days to Benjamin Islands which were previously anchored a dozen trawlers and sailboats. We have seen people met a few days earlier. We took pictures when we climbed a rock and at bedtime sun. They will be posted on the blog soon.
There are 3 days we said goodbye to Joe and Joyce (Takita II) because our roads parted. They would return them home in Goderich, ON (Lake Huron) after a one-year absence. It was very enjoyable and rewarding to be in their company. Their knowledge will be very beneficial as the navigational methods of anchoring. By the way, Joe has been an instructor for the Canadian Power Squadron boating in Ontario.
In the next article I will describe a typical day to sail on a larger body of water.
