The engine saga continues with good news…


Well here we are still in Andros deciding what our next step will be and our friends Sandy and Bill told us about a group of Mennonites that settled here in Andros and happen to be excellent diesel mechanics. We figured what the hell, let’s get a second opinion. We are soooo glad we did!!

The guy in Great Harbour was trying to pull a fast one on us and make some money off a few of gullible tourists. Turns out if we had tried to have him fix the “problem” it would not have done anything for us except take $1000 of our money!! As it turns out we were just having a problem with our fuel line. Our engine was pretty much starving for fuel which is why it sounded like it was only running on 2 cylinders. It’s like trying to suck up liquid through a cracked straw, not too effective.

All said and done we (meaning Brian) fixed the problem and we are now back in the business of having an inboard engine. YAY!!!

We hope to be off to Nassau in the next few days and then journey on from there.

Until next time Nicole and the crew
