Engine Maintenance & Friends Aboard!
A Week Aboard S/V Sabado: 7/16/2023 - 7/23/2023 We had decided to start paddling when a local on a boat nearby saw us struggling and came over in his dinghy to help.

Keep the People In the Boat, Keep the Water Out of the Boat

A Week Aboard S/V Sabado: 5/14/2023 - 5/21/2023 The following day I was practically launched out of bed. A southerly swell had taken over last night’s calm refuge. We had to move again.
