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!!!

Check out London's skyline from the very top of St. Paul's Cathedral! It's quite the climb to reach this pinnacle (and definitely not for everyone), but the scenery is absolutely worth it! Would you climb up here? Let us know in the comments!
