SAILING MISHAPS: An inch away from a full rebuild..

A push rod went SLAMMING into the rocker assembly, and had caused some pretty significant damage. Do we need to rebuild the engine? Or do we get lucky? Check out https://click-and-boat.pxf.io/c/5354130/1989137/19914 if you want to give sailing a go!

*About Us*
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.

However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.

We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit
