Engine Failure… NOT AGAIN?! Feeling Hopeless in Rough Seas...| Sailing Sitka Ep 170
Jay and Kenna felt ready—prepared and excited to return to paradise. After a week anchored in Linton Bay, they set sail for what should have been a smooth trip back to the San Blas Islands. But that’s not how things played out.Pounding into relentless 10–14 ft seas on a lee shore, their engine failed—again. It had previously quit while transiting the Panama Canal, but this time, it’s a different beast. After logging over 100 hours of motoring since that first failure and replacing the fuel filter, the engine is dying once more… and now, they have no idea why.
Frustrated, stressed, and feeling completely defeated, they made the tough call to turn back—sailing back to Linton in search of answers, and maybe a little hope. Thanks for watching. If you enjoy the journey, hit subscribe—we post every Sunday!
