Well I've had an interesting morning :) haha

Ended up with another 125mm so the 24hr total was 295mm

AS you probably know the ferry was washed away last night, this was caused by tour boats being tied up to
the public wharf upstream of the ferry, when the wharf with 3 boats tied to it broke off the bank it went
downstream straight into the ferry, all the added weight then caused the ferry to break it's moorings.
So we could be a few days without a ferry service.
Build the bridge..

My day started as most do, take the dog for a run around 05:30 only this morning as I went to turn around
I lost all steering in my Jimny, A quick look and I see it has dropped a tie rod end. Got the mrs to
come and pick us up and had a look in my cupboard and luckily I had a set of new ones here.
So I spent the next 2 hours laying in 150mm of water changing over steering components, and I'm back
on the road. Will need to go to a mates place with a hoist and do a wheel alignment and check a few
other bits. Always something at the most inconvenient time :) haha

Looking at the radar now it looks like that's about it.. Sure was a quick event, but it''s going to take
some time for all of it to be made right again. The best part is we still have power :)


Cheers
