Today was another frustrating day of waiting for news about the availability of our replacement engine parts. At the end of the day we called and were told that they were still checking if a part they could have here in 1 day would fit on our engine block. Otherwise, we would have to order a new part from the factory and wait 4 weeks to get it. We were told that they would give us their final answer tomorrow morning.
In order to have something to do, Peter decided to perform a task he had been procrastinating for a long time. To do it, he would have to climb halfway up the mast to the spreader and then attach leather chafing boots at both ends of the spreader. It is best done in calm waters, with little wind. That describes the conditions in Halifax Harbor Marina this afternoon. Attaching the leather chafing boots involves folding the leather piece around the wire stays and the ends of the spreader, and then sewing the leather piece into place at top and bottom. Lyn thought it was so much fun, she took a video of him climbing with the ATN climber, and then several photos of stages of completion of the sewing tasks.
