Way better photos and the problem was fixed as easily and inexpensively as we could have imagined. Praise God!
Praise Him also for the delay which has allowed some deep discussions of all kinds of topics which were needed before we departed.

On Sunday, Sid began talking about a very much revised trip. Part of it is the still-unknown extent of the keel problem, part of it is that the worst-case scenario fix is rather expensive both in ⏱ and 💵.
So, he was rather discouraged but did complete a “cradle” to have the keel rest in once it is disconnected from the boat.
Here’s a look at him driving the boat away for the moment of truth on Monday.
The update at midday is fairly optimistic, so stay tuned for the next decision.
Originally, we were to be visiting my mom through today and leaving for the first lake in WY on Tuesday. That won’t be happening on these dates but we may be able to still modify and have a great adventure!
