Sean, met us in the morning to lock through with us. This one was tricky. Our radio didn't reach the three miles through the canal to the lock so we had to call. Thankfully John gave us his friend's number at McAlpine lock, the chart didn't have it. Everything good, we motored through the canal. John photographing us the whole time.
A little before we entered the lock the handle of the motor fell off. A bunch of little pieces fell into the water. I held on to it and we entered the chambered. "Lets go to the last pin, so we won't have to paddle as far, I don't think I can start this again"
forty feet down we fiddled with duck tap and glue. Good think my friend Mike is Mcgiver. He talked me through it on the telephone and we got the thing started. The first dock I saw we stopped.
Lucky for us New Albany boat club is Awesome!!!! and right next to a marine parts store. we found all the little parts and put it back together again!
running better than ever.
On our walk to the boat part store we ran into our friend Tim from the Pirate ship in his work truck.
"Are you guys lost or something?"
"As a matter of fact..."
He was able to give us a ride back down to the boat club and help us out. Brought his grandson down the next day.

Hope all is well with you all. We sure did enjoy your company while you were here. I wish you the best of luck in the rest of your journey. If you need anything we are just a phone call away.
