• End of the road...

    10 Mayıs, Bahamalar ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to end the trip early. When Jessica and I parted with Tyler in Marsh Harbour yesterday, we went just 10 short miles over to Hopetown to spend the night. Just as we entered the harbor, the starboard engine sounded a high temperature alarm. I killed the engine immediately and limped to a mooring ball on the other engine. A quick assessment of the problem revealed coolant in the oil pan....almost certainly a cracked engine block. This is a repair that might take a couple weeks in the US, but more likely 2 months in the Bahamas.

    So we decided to sell the boat "as is" here in the Abacos, and hope we find a buyer who will bring her back to her former glory.

    Jessica and I will fly back to CT with as much of her cargo as we can pack in our bags and mourn our loss, finally answering the question, "what could go wrong?"
