Such a beautiful day today and so hot .... one of the last ones.....after Chris went back to bed this morning, we were off on the big lake just after noon (because we still aren’t allowed on our lake though we saw ‘them’ happily skiing this morning) but alas, more to see on the big lake and it holds less hurt on it so off we went!!!
We zoomed to the end of Lake Cowichan when Chris heard the alternator belt get loose so he pulled out the little tool box to tighten it when he says “whoa! We’re screwed!” Lol, he doesn’t normally jump straight to that so it was a touch alarming. Turns out while tightening one of the 3 bolts that holds the belt and alternator in plate, it broke off, leaving the screw part inside.... he ended up tightening the remaining 2 and we headed back towards home so if it broke in transit and the belt flew off, we wouldn’t be stranded so far out. We ended up finding a little beach close to the home and had lunch and a swim and he metal detected while I read a book.
We headed for home when the kids were done school and made it. Right as we were pulling up to the ramp, the belt started squeaking and we were able to turn the motor off and laugh saying “We made it!!”
