Good grief - that outboard again!

Good grief? Is there such a thing? I mean, grief is just bad isn't it?
We left Bunbury with high hopes that the outboard motor was now a working model. But nope, by Quindalup a new issue emerged and we could only be hopeful that the 'boys own fun' had by The Bloke and Steve dismantling our outboard motor on the lawn at the Dunsborough Bay Yacht Club  would diagnose and maybe resolve any remaining issues. Alas, happiness in this department was intermittent and random. It was all good for a minute then there was grief.
Next stop - Albany. This grief must end!
We can now report that the carburetor and fuel line clean-out done in Albany and now on test in Two People's Bay over the last couple of days, is a SUCCESS. The motor starts on the first tug - no more outboard motor envy for me and regular ULP is no longer on our shopping list to be sure, to be sure.


The Bloke seems well pleased with his One-Tug outboard!
