Tuesday we tried to move Saltheart out the Fisherman's Harbour into the river. We untied the ropes just had a couple of ropes in hand, put her in reverse and nothing happened. On further investigation a cable had to be adjusted, at first we were concerned the gear box had had it. After a bit of time Ian had fixed the problem.
Ian down the motor room again fixing the problem.
Wayne who also had a boat in the harbour suggested that we check the propeller for any growth. Ian did this and said that there was a bit of growth and took a scraper for a swim. Kathleen decided to join in the fun with her dad. By now the tide had gone out so we had a spend another night in the harbour.

Come morning we left the harbour behind us and moved into a anchorage further up the river. With a depth sounder on the dingy we were able to find a nice spot.
At anchor the kids had fun jumping off the bow of the boat and climbing back up the d
uck board.
