In mid-August we had the port transmission lock up just as we were preparing to anchor at Redfish Island for a Saturday afternoon. Janice Crockett was along so we went ahead and anchored. After lunch we launched the dingy and went ashore. I called Land & Sea the next week, and a mere 11 weeks later the transmission was reinstalled on Monday, November 2. The gear was evidently still available, but the shaft for the gear was not. They bought a rebuilt transmission to scavenge for parts, including the shaft that we needed. To celebrate the new(ly rebuilt) transission, we went back to Redfish Island for an overnight the very next weekend... All is well once again.
