My boat sank on Thursday night. Couldn't get a salvage company to refloat it before Sunday. Spent the whole of Sunday and most of today swearing, draining water from the engine, trying to undo fused nuts, busting my knuckles on pieces of un-co-operative fused steel, drying bits and pieces of engine, in the face of utter ridicule from everyone: "that engine is dead! you'll never get it running again! The only way is to take it to the experts, let them take it out of the boat with a block and tackle and totally dismantle it, clean it, replace whatever is totally fucked and then put it back together. There's no way in hell you'll get it running again!"
Well, anyone wanna go for a cruise tomorrow? it's running as sweetly as ever...was misfiring badly at first and making some really ugly noises, but it's as good as new Just one more oil-change tomorrow morning (heh, still a lot of water in there, when you pull out the dipstick this grey gunk drips off it) and she'll be fine.
