Ingenious temporary repair

My son who had just completed his master 5 and me2 is helping relocate a Clipper 40 from Hobart to the Gold Coast. Crossed the paddock in ease only to be confronted with seized salt water pump bearing at 3 am. Some clever work using a plastic water bottle, tape and the deck wash pump gave them enough flow to limp back to Bermagui.

Looks like they learn plenty at AMC!
