July 28, 2016 - A Day of waiting.


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

We waited until 8 to call my insurance broker to report the accident and get guidance.  The brokers were mostly on vacation and I talked to Wildo, the president. I gave him the details.  We waited for the return call insurance until 15:00 after which I called Jim on his cell and we got calls 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 inc Sorel-Tracy, about 8 nM, 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 the most to explore and enjoy our vacation as we wait as Bellum lays wounded. The city center is very pretty and effervescent. We return to the ship by walking the federal park whose railing is placed at the service of a friendly exhibition of children's drawings.  
deep, restful sleep.
