SDA67 Stranded in Norfolk ... Remove and Replace Volvo MD2030 Transmission Cable
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

We're Lisa & Dave. We love to travel anywhere warm and friendly, to explore, meet new people, see new places, and share what we see. Sailing Dark Angel is our unscripted tale of learning a whole new life. Freedom and adventure on the water, living an alternative lifestyle.

We hope to inspire people the way we've been inspired. Join us aboard Dark Angel, our beautiful 2006 Island Spirit Fortuna 401 catamaran. Share our dreams and adventures with us
