Back in Williamstown

Anchored overnigth in Flinders, due to lack of drive from the prop.  First light - thats around 0630 - I was over the side in rather chilly conditions, to inspect the problem (there were no other volunteers).  It was clear that weed was not the problem, rather a stuck or siezed prop blade, and it needed removal for servicing/ repair.  Thats difficult in the water, especially away from home due to lack of transport, tools etc.  Hence because of proximity, it was decided that Hobos's was the best option, and we sailed back to the yard, tied up at around 5.15 pm and arranged slipping tomorrow morning. Once the problem is known, it can be better assessed and further decisions made.
