1st DRAMATIC RESCUE OF THE SEASON…

At the end of June there was a “tense” rescue situation as Simon and Charlotte Boote were forced to head back to the landing pontoon after engine failure.  Turned out the pipe inside the fuel tank had fallen off, preventing any fuel from getting to the engine. 15 tools later, the offending vessel (the fuel tank) was back on the vessel (their dory) and off they went. It was very exciting for a moment. Thought I would have to rescue Ancasta Boats’ owner from his own boat !!!

It had blown down towards the creek and was hanging in the bushes just above the waterline.  I fear the Lower Deck bin must have…
