Just a short update to say that the engine is back to life and we are
motoring in light airs. The repair is a bit of an Apollo 13 style bodge with a
cut-off section of fishing rod (sorry Jon for this sacrilege!) to join two hoses
together.
There was a lot of gunk/sludge in the tank and fuel lines which may still
cause us further problems, but we should have enough capacity to get to Newlyn
in a few days through a combination of sailing when the wind is decent and using
the engine. |
