N
eighbours came for the early
morning send-off to wish me
and my husband, David Clyne, a
good trip. Our boat was on the
trailer, and the trailer was attached to the
truck. The last of the supplies were loaded
and the key was in the truck’s ignition.Then, the unthinkable happened. All we
heard was the loud clicking of an engine
that wouldn’t start. Thankfully, a boost was
all that was needed to get us on our way.
The country road was rough, and we
felt some vibration as we drove along.

Despite a hitch or two, this much anticipated
boat trip was all they hoped it would be
