Ep 113 Fire and Other Drama Prior to Haulout
February 15, 2021 by Sailing Talisman | Language: EN Play Time: 00:24:50 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
It’s a crazy time aboard Talisman, as we prepare to haul for hurricane season. First we suffer an engine room fire, which sets us back for a bit. Wendy goes for a swim and finds a shark under the boat. Then we discover that the crane that the yard is using to lift our mast for recoating isn’t up to the task (initially), and then it’s pure motoring with no backup around the island of Antigua to a different yard for hauling.

We packed up everything, rented the houses, and headed for Troon, Scotland where the boat was located. We closed in late 2017 and following a major electronics refit (the first of several) headed south to the Mediterranean. One season morphed into a second, then a third. And then the Caribbean beckoned. We participated in the 2019 ARC, and have been cruising there since. The adventure continues ...
