Well...bad hints happen I threes, and despite the extra offering to theses gods...lost engine power about 2 hours into our trip and with no wind we had to go to plan C to get home. We launched Corky, our dingy, and tied midship and to stern we used our 9.9 mercury outboard to tow us for 4 hours to get back to our dock. Now we are doing many boat projects waiting for Monday when the mechanics come into work. Ah well...we are safe, on holidays and on the boat...not exactly an exotic place but here we are having to fix the boat. Hopefully it's just the case of new wiring...more news to come.
Safe sailing everyone!
