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!!!

This was the result of taking rum and an ipod ashore to the 5 inhabitants of a small, isolated atoll in the middle of the South Pacific. Dolly Parton proved to be their favourite with Bob Marley and Johnny Cash close behind. My bottle is already empty and the next is being delivered by the Swedish couple. Jolene has never sounded so good!
