Our time here at Thompson Bay has flown by. Yesterday we ate lunch at Sou’ Side with Dee & Ron and Jean & Michael. On our way back Dee and Ron stopped at Breeze On so that Ron could take a look at the stubborn screw that didn’t want to come out. He and George worked on it a while until the head came off the screw. In the meantime a front—which we had hoped would not come this far south—arrived and the wind picked up. George and Ron continued to work on removing what was left of the screw and tapping a new hole. At some point they noticed that the leaf spring—a part that goes under the flex feeder—had broken off. George suspects it had been cracked by whatever stresses ruined the old flex feeder. A new leaf spring was not included with our replacement flex feeder so George has ordered two new ones (one to spare.) George and Ron have a bit of fine tuning to do on the flex feeder then we will wait for the new leaf spring.

The front brought quite a bit of rain last night and this morning. It remained windy most of the day so we have stayed on the boat.
