Azores – here we come! Oh,right! Another 20 days?!
Sorry guys that I haven’t posted lately but I
decided that I might as well, because we are leaving on a 30 day passage soon
to the Azores (if I will have to say this again, well, we have had engine
problems that mean we can’t go to the Caribbean and we must make it across the
massive pond to the Azores) which involves lots of puking and… well, I don’t
think I should go on talking about that kinda thing!
So the engine
actually took 36 days more than we expected.
Not good.
O.K! I will go on to further descriptions… As soon
as the engine parts arrived, we took immediate action over trying to get this
stupid thing working.
That also meant that we were able to get out of the
way of Retifica (no offence) but I really think that we were just purely glad
to not have some lazy dealers involved in our engine affairs.
So we were lucky to have a local mechanic who was
prepared to do some of this “fixing”. It took him another 7 days maybe to get
the engine humming smoothly which soon got everybody on our boat screaming
gaily.
And that was it. Well, we did a test where we went
out on the river for 2 and a ½ hrs and had no problems with anything.
Sorry about this short post, but I have to go do
some cleaning on the boat.
Hear from toi in 30 dias.
(HA!HA!HA!)
