Spent half the morning trying to inflate new dinghy to right pressure. It seems that there may be a problem with pump as it seemed OK with old one. Then having got it in the water we found that the outboard bolts had seized up and we could not release it. Tried WD40, hot water, hairdryer, wrecked a set of adjustable pliers and eventually gave up and had lunch. Success came early afternoon and we went to Port Fitzroy to get rid of rubbish, buy petrol (for outboard) and have a walk. Went half way to Okiwi on the other side but having reached the top decided that to go down the other side might have been OK but the return up was not. Lovely walk through forest but not many views as blocked by tall trees.
