Wednesday Aug 3

Well we woke to  a beautiful morning with some wind. So after a breakfast of oatmeal we headed out. We had not gone to far and the engine alarm went off! We had blown a hose and lost almost all our antifreeze. What a mess.
We had not yet put up our sails so we had to hurry to do that so we had some power. So Skip worked on the engine and I sailed the boat such as it was.
It took Skip about an hour to repair the problem.
Once that was complete, we sailed for awhile and then motored for awhile and so now we are tied up on Otter Island.
My kiddos won't remember this but they have been here. I think Chris was about 3 at the time.
It is a beautiful island, heavily wooded. It's claim to fame is that in 1960 it was host to the National Boy Scout Camporee! There were about \,000 Boy Scouts from all over the country came to  Otter for a week of camping.
We've been invited to a fresh lake trout dinner tonight by our dock mates, Beverly and Gary and their daughter Rhonda.
Sleep well everyone. More to come tomorrow.
Love and blessings,
Margo and Skip
