Cut, bruised and stiff, Irena and I celebrate the end of an era. It was a struggle, but we prevailed over our tired old Perkins Prima 50 HP diesel. Yesterday, dripping coolant, oil and fuel, (the Prima that is) we wrestled her from engine room and dragged her on a skid kicking and screaming into the saloon. Tonight, all 300 kgs of her smelly presence reminds me our new Yanmar Diesel is waiting no more than a 100 meters away. Thank Miss Prima but good bye. 75HP here we come! We will get some serious speed on now under power.
This blog is dedicated to the adventurer in all of us. Join us as we sail, travel, learn, contemplate, work and play. Cress and Irena
