An odyssey is described as a journey filled with fortunes and misfortunes... well we are having our Odyssey.

Sailing into the harbor of Vathi on Ithaca, I shifted my engines into reverse to slow Mojito's motion and the port engine's rpm raced and I realised the I was only getting thrust from my starboard engine. Zack immediately looked over the bow into the water and confirmed what I thought...we lost our prop. Our boat is a catamaran, it has two hulls and two engines, but trying to maneuver on one engine in close quarters is very, very difficult.

Well I could think of worst places to be stuck, great restaurants (roasted lamb), cafes, ice cream and pastry shops, all the important food groups, but NO YANMAR PROP DEALER!

This is a very small greek town and there are no Yanmar dealers for a couple hundred so while we wait for a new prop to be shipped in we're making "lemon juice our of lemons."
