Ojibwa sits in Halifax harbour, she is in a poor state of repair with many of her essential parts now being stored on the two other OBoats due to go to the wreckers. The Navy issued us with a Nov 30 deadline to recover these parts and find replacements on the scrappers. Having been given a start date and organized a volunteer crew to commence work beginning Monday the 22nd, we now hear that DND requires more time to prepare for our arrival...Maybe the 29th would be better. That leaves us 2 days to accomplish 6 days worth of work....this math doesn't add up.
Does DND understand this is a big problem? We obviously need them to extend the deadline or Ojibwa will end up as very poor representation of what was once the pride of the Navy...cardboard cutouts and photos of the parts we were forced to leave behind are a poor substitute for the real thing. .let's hope reason prevails
