The Dinghy gets a Beauty Spot

Our dinghy is the equivalent to having a car. No dinghy or no car means it's very difficult to get about the place. Specifically, it makes it possible for us to go ashore when we are out on anchor or to visit other boats. It's a really important bit of kit. The outboard motor is less important, one can always row if necessary but it's very limiting to be without a dinghy.

One morning our dinghy took on a very strange appearance. Mmmmm... not a good look... very deflating in fact, ha, ha!

The Bloke rose to the challenge and rescuing the dinghy became his whole focus for the next few hours. We realised that while pulling up to the jetty at the boat ramp the previous day, that we must have knocked into one of the razor sharp oysters that was growing on the steps! Luckily the hole was both small and easy to locate AND there was only one puncture.

The repaired puncture... er, beauty spot!

We've often considered giving our dinghy a name. Now we are considering 'Marilyn'.
