Recife Pos 08:04.816S 034:53.377W DOWNbreaker * Well back to Recife for repairs. This time serious ones. Our generator Westerbeke diesel engine went bust. Saltwater
worked itself through the saltwater into the engine hearth. Needs major
overhauling, machining and
spare parts. To
better illustrate we have posted some pictures of the cadaver after CSI Recife
was done with
the crime scene
analysis. Body parts are resting in the bathtub!

Reading Spare Parts List
We will have to take is out of the boat tomorrow before we continue sailing to Salvador while it is machined and reassembled, crossing our fingers we get spare parts in time.
So this is a major setback but it did not impact our morale nor G&T time. Tonton * by Erica Lessmann, Abu Dhabi |
