We cruise up the ICW from Chesapeake toward the Chesapeake Bay, but we get stuck in Norfolk/Portsmouth when the starboard transmission shifter cable breaks. The hour we spent waiting for a railway bridge to open didn’t help. Hovering requires a lot of shifting.
Can we fix the transmission shifter cable on our port Volvo MD2030 saildrive, or are we going to have to find a replacement? Where will we find one? How do we figure out what cable we need? How will we get it to the boat?
A relatively small job can cost a week or more when you’re not in your home port, and we don’t have a home port.
At least the ducks were well fed and happy

SDA 247 Rough Departure
Leaving the Dominican Republic was supposed to be a simple check-out, but a lost weather window, dead communications, and an engine leak overnight turned a routine passage into a battle to keep the water on the outside.

On our mooring in Luperon, we install our new AIS to repla...
SDA243 Well Hung on the Back Rail
Replacing a missing windex is one thing, but the real project this time was putting our imaginations to work in the cockpit to get our new Weber barbecue perfectly mounted on the back rail. We replace our missing windex and use a borescope to try to locate the obstruction blocking our wind instrume...
