In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel, Dockmaster Keith helps us trade slips with Seawind 1260 ‘Butters’ in a very tight slip. Keith’s instructions and help make it much easier than we anticipated.
Afterward it’s time to service our Volvo MD2030 29hp, 3cylinder diesel engines… except the oil change. We don’t have a container for the used oil
Ordering parts for old engines can be dicey. The belts and the oil filters are different sizes from what we had before, but they just might be an improvement!

SDA256 Keys to the Deep
There’s a grand piano and a mermaid sitting on the bottom off Rudder Cut Cay, and getting down to see them is a little more work than it looks. We’re anchored at Rudder Cut Cay, where I dive the Musician, a grand piano with a mermaid at the bench commissioned by David Copperfield to entertain his g...
SDA255 Flying the Spinnaker
here’s something unsettling about seeing a standing wave across the cut you’re about to enter. I start out exploring the shallow southern shoreline of Stocking Island on my paddleboard, soaking up the clear water before we head offshore. Dave shows us how he rigs the spinnaker, and once it’s flyin...
SDA254 Unexpected Shark
Murky water is bad enough when you know there could be something nearby. Finding out later just how curious the local sharks can be doesn’t help. We’re at Sand Dollar Beach in Elizabeth Harbour, where murky water makes my anchor dive a little more uncomfortable than usual. We snorkel what was once...
SDA253 Chasing Coolant
We were running hot in Georgetown, and so were the Volvos. The only thing harder than cooling ourselves off was finding coolant for the engines. We’re anchored in Kidd’s Cove, searching Georgetown for strangely elusive coolant for our long-suffering Volvo Penta diesels. Back aboard Dark Angel, we ...
SDA252 Creepy Cassiopea
There are some things you expect to find while diving the anchor. A sea floor covered in pulsing jellyfish brains isn't one of them. We’re at Sand Dollar Beach, where I make a creepy discovery while diving the anchor in murkier than usual water. Upside-down jellyfish called Cassiopea are ancho...
