We were sailing out liveaboard sailboat/raceboat up the coast, and almost home under the golden gate bridge. Just 15 miles form the gate, we noticed a problem: the engine temp alarm, and no input to the RPM gauge/tacometer. A telltale sign that the engine belt is broken! We rolled around with no wind and no engine, tools flying across the room, and no steerage. We were able to get a new belt on eventually, and most importantly, we got back to the dock just in time to get burritos at our favorite burrito place!
