Vin 10 
Had a delightful dinner at kingfisher Bay Resort, tied the dinghy up to the pier allowing for 3 hours of tide. Didn’t allow for the grab rope on the side of the dinghy to get hooked under a step!! We had to borrow a knife from a fisherman to cut the rope, too much pressure to just push it down to release. Muz dived in to do it. New elec outboard started first go after being held underwater for at least an hour!!! We all laughed, more from relief than anything else.
