A friend of Howard's, Roger from Nanaimo gave him an option that would be a temporary fix and allow him to get home and do his repair at home but needed to get a hold of the mechanic...
Friday morning the mechanic called and yes the temporary fix could be made and that day!!!!!!
Now for the turning of the boats....Friday was a calm morning and with people help from the Harbour commission we were able to turn both boats while being attached....no engines were required just muscle power and patients....
With Silhouette secure Dance Lightly moved away from the dock and out of Victoria saying good bye to Silhouette.
We ran into a few big boats on our way out...After Eight was coming out, the Clipper, the Coho and a large barge were coming in....oh the pressure of it all...but we managed...
Had a great sail around Victoria and then into Capital City Yacht Club (Sidney).
Stayed the night....going to Clam Bay tonight...
Propinquity had a slog down the the Juan De Fuca in Fog but all her expensive equipment came in handy...then into Esquimalt Harbour today ( Saturday)
Blue An Teak had a successful night time run down the Juan De Fuca and sailed into Discovery Islands and then onto Ganges today ( Saturday)
We all feel like our trip is done...but a great trip it has been...thank you everyone from Dance Lightly it has been a pleasure/fun/exciting/stressful/relaxing time...one we will never forget!!!!!
I will send out a couple more blogs with recipes and pictures...stay tuned...
Over and out from "Circle the Rock" gang.......
