The day our engine made oil - Free Range Sailing Ep 40

Safely arrived back in the Torres Straits we visit some waterfalls on Prince of Wales Island with some friends. We also take a ride to visit the Goods Island lighthouse and World War II observation post.

Throughout this episode, we do the usual boat maintenance, which leads to the discovery that our engine has been making oil! Troy comes up with a temporary fix so we don’t have to wait for parts to be sent to us on Thursday Island.

We also drop in to visit the folks at Roko Island fish camp and Troy talks about some important info and FREE navigation software.
