Walt and Dena took us on a quick cruise in their boat to Vancouver Island to visit Buchart Gardens. We left the day before and spent the night at the John Wayne Marina in Sequim.
On the way, one of the tires on the boat trailer had a blow out. We changed it at a coffee stand near a gas station. We were able to use some landscaping block and the trailer jack to change the tire all by ourselves.
We were back on the road in no time. We stopped for supper. While maneuvering in the parking lot, a woman seemed to be following us in her car. Finally, she rolled down her window and said that one of the tires on our trailer was shredded. What??? Sure enough, the center tire was in bad shape.
In order to make the rest of the trek to the marina, we removed the tire. We put the boat in the water, tied up to the dock, and settled in for the night…
We looked at the map to see where we were and where we were going.
The morning was cool and foggy. We got up at the crack of dawn and took a stroll before we were underway.
And then we were off…
