day 9

We were not bored. In fact, incredibly happy with the beauty of the scenery and the great company of Cinda and Scott. We had planned to get them to Montreal from whence they would depart for California. We spent an idyllic evening in Isle aux Noix (Nut Island), Quebec.
this morning we cleaned weeds out of the filter and started out for Sorel. it has been several days since our last disaster, so I created one. After getting under way the alarm signaled over
Heating and we burned a hole in the plastic device that mixes exhaust and cooling water? It looked like we were burning up when in fact it was just exhaust coming into the cabin. Fortunately it will be a cheap fix, but likely to take a day or two for the part to arrive then another 15 minutes to install it.
     The bad news is there is only one eatery here, with two tiny outside tables, a 1/2 mile away and only serves fish & chips. There is no grocery store.so Montreal is now several extra days away.
     In spite of this, life is really good and God is great!

  1. You sure know how to keep it interesting Dad! so glad there was no major damage & you did not have to abandoned ship! The dingy would be a tight fit for a long row. Grandma Sampson always had "reserve rations" for moments like this. I hope you like fish and chips - Molly & Guy would be thrilled, Sally and I would lose weight. Enjoy the down time. XO to you both!
