NOTHING LASTS FOREVER | engine update [Ep104 RED SEAS]
Lots of you have been asking for an update on our engine situation so here’s the latest.
After significant overheating on our Pacific Crossing we were told by the mechanics on Hiva Oa that there was serious damage to the internals of our engine and we would need to rebuild or replace it.
Today we talk through our options as we’ve tried to continue sailing with just one engine and it’s too dangerous in these remote atolls with tight passes and high currents.
But we have a plan and we need your help!
