Thought I'd keep you posted on latest developments. We left the marina Trois-Rivieres early this morning but heard strange sounds coming from port engine. So we returned to the marina. Turns out we have transmission problems and the whole transmission will need to be replaced. Insurance company has been contacted and a mechanic has confirmed the problem. An adjustor will probably be coming by as well. The boat will need to be pulled out. Could be a couple of weeks. If that's the case, we'll go home and come back when it's ready. We'll know more in a while.
The problem stems for hitting a deadhead log on June 23 on the Rideau. Probably hurt a gear in the transmission and now it broke. Mike did hear something strange when we arrived in Trois-Rivieres.
Update: Andree & Dave have kindly offered us to stay in Quebec for the duration of repairs and we accepted. Boat is coming out tomorrow morning. The current guesstimate is august 8 to go back in water. So no Lake Champlain this year. We'll be in Thousand Island as scheduled. C'est la vie on the sea!!
