Ep 242 | We're Stuck! Gearbox Failure. No Wind! No Power! No Solar! Garden Island, Sailing Nutshell
November 18, 2021 by Life in a Nutshell | Language: EN Play Time: 00:19:52 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We leave the Hinchinbrook Channel and stop off at the local IGA to pick up supplies for the next few days.
But it has not been without drama… whilst in the channel the gearbox starts to leak and we don’t know the exact cause of it.
We decide to head out to clear water and work out what to do…
Oh, and Magnus samples his latest boat wine.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time…
Wendy and Magnus
