July 28, 2016 - A Day of waiting.


Allan has a hand and a foot swollen by the bites of deer flies, which makes him crazy!  He cannot help scratching.  It makes vinegar compresses, which gives him some relief.  It's really nice today, but we dare not get out of the boat, you get to eat all around!

We waited until 8 to call my insurance broker to report the accident and get guidance.  The brokers were mainly on vacation, and I spoke with Wildo, the president.  I gave him the details.  We waited for the return call from the insurance until 3:00 p.m., after which I called Jim on his cell, and we received a call back from the adjuster.  Jim follows up shortly afterward.  The adjuster suggests we call the Coast Guard to tow us.

17h00 Coast Guard in 1205 comes to our rescue 



They towed us to Marina Saurel in Sorel-Tracy, approximately 8 nautical miles, where they tied us to the service dock.  Unfortunately, the dock boy tells us we cannot stay there.  We had no drive train, so we used a small motorboat and 120 feet of anchor line to pull ourselves to a nearby dock. 

18h30 Bellum is safe now, a short walk to explore the town of Sorel.  We will do our best to explore and enjoy our vacation as we wait for Bellum to lay wounded.  The city center is beautiful and effervescent.  We return to the ship by walking through the federal park, whose railing is adorned with a friendly exhibition of children's drawings.  

We had a deep, restful sleep.
