Penatanguishine

We are still in Penatanguishine; now we're starting to get frustrated. The mechanic here spent the day on the boat; thought we had our issue with the engine suddenly stopping on us solved. Ran the engines tonight, and the port engine stopped again. Had hoped to leave in the am, but it seems more time with the mechanic is required.Went for a long walk tonight into Penatanguishine, pretty town, lots of parks and nice waterfront.
Had walked up to Discovery Harbour, a historic harbour which has been restored last night.When I say that we are frustrated, it is with the situation, certainly not with the people here at Bay Moorings. They have gone out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible.The manager, Ken MacDonald, went over all of our charts of Georgian Bay and marked routes, good anchorages etc. Much appreciated and very useful.

  1. ouch.... can you wait till you get to a large city where they have more mechanics with more experience?...abd perhaps a guarantee?
    Does the GLA have a forum where you can ask if others have had similar problems and possible solutions?
    ...so....what books did you bring to read?

  4. Problems are apparently not unusual (we have been assured by other loopers). Our's is just so difficult to diagnose, once diagnosed, we hope it's an easy fix.
