Practicing the use of radar provide you with an edge when you really need it. We sailed from Sandoy to Hestur (the faroe islands) and the fog prevented us to see the islands. When we were arriving at Hestur, the radar and navionics help us identify the ferry which was heading to Hestur as well, so, we made a U turn to give the ferry priority to head in first. Then, the tide was running fast, so Skipper Chris did the ferry gliding to let us have a smooth and safe entrance.
OCC members, Fred and Sandy onboard their catamaran Dakota Dream, were anchored at Antigua when this happened to their generator. It seems someone forgot to turn off the hot-wired raw water pump for their Northern Lights M673, 6 kw generator when they left the boat for Happy Hour. Upon returning to their boat, they realized the problem and shut down the still running raw water pump, too late. The generator was hydro-locked. This is what happens when an injector is removed to get raw water out of the cylinders. Ouch! Diesel and salt water sprays everywhere!!!
