More running around in the rental car today. I also went to Tom’s place of business (Maritime Lawn and Garden Supply) and he helped me do some work on fittings that I had bought to strengthen the railings on Ananda’s stern. With that job complete I did some more running around and also made a trip to the grocery store to pick up additional provisions in anticipation of Emily and her best friend Alice joining me for the trip from Halifax to St. Andrews. There is a large boating supply and service business less within sight of the marina . I went there to talk to them about some repairs to the dingy and arranged for the work to be done. I went back to the marina, loaded the (deflated) dingy into the rental car, took it to the service depot and arranged to pick it up the next day.
