Doing a full diesel engine rebuild takes time, and money. Arona is diligently caring for Simone the Perkins 4108. As I take care of projects on Galopin while waiting. Sometimes I need to get out of the CVD club and get stuff like groceries and cash. And that's where Tafa, my one eyed driver comes into play. He's faster and cheaper than taxis, and my friend. 00:00 Intro 00:23 Sensor not feeling 01:04 Off topic pizza 01:31 Dashboard removal 02:13 Keeping Simone cool 03:24 Off topic pups & kittys 03:50 One eyed driver 06:38 Endurance test 07:07 Make over reveal 07:46 Chez Khady 08:47 Final push 09:48 Next week Some say it’s The Best Sailing Channel on YouTube!
