Airborne?

Skipper Thelma reporting:
This afternoon's page was after lunch, which was a bonus. Off to a small runabout east of Kawau Island, at Slater Point, anchored but with no power.
The 3 teenagers on board had some technical advice from Dad, in a nearby dinghy, but a spot of CRC / replacement wiring about a week ago may have been more productive. (You can only replace a fuse if the holder isn't a ball of salt). So after a quick discussion, the boat was attached to the towline and we headed to Algies Bay, while Dad followed along, quite a while later, in the yacht.
 
We dropped the boat near the beach, to be collected later and returned to the berth, where Dave had been effecting running repairs on the Aussie plastic hoses attached to our airberth.
Thanks to Dave & Al coming to put the pipes back together and get us airborne again, on a hot, steamy day, followed by a cleanup and wash.
Thanks to Tim, Bruce R & Donn as crew.
