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!!!

Black lion en Australie, Green Island! Le vent prochainement changeant recommande de bouger à Green Island, plus abritée ! Un saut de puce aux moteurs, qui nous rappelle l’incompétence maintenant certaine du mécano que nous avons employé lors de notre carénage en Nouvelle Calédonie. Depuis son intervention sur Black Lion, il y a quatre mois, pour un changement de carter, Cyril a déjà dû opérer cinq fois pour la seule et unique raison de son manque de professionnalisme. Jusqu’à présent, la négligence d’un collier, ou d’une durite, mal serré nous ont agacés mais le boulon délogé de la barre de direction ce matin nous irrite fortement. Heureusement que mon capitaine est habile, sans quoi, la maladresse de cet amateur aurait pu nous couter chère. Toujours dans le domaine technique mais dans un registre plus rassurant, notre gréement par 20 nœuds au près ; le test est approuvé ! Les tensions paraissent être plus en adéquation avec les besoins de Black Lion. Nous continuons à visiter, nos ballades en annexe sont toujours pleine de découvertes. Des dauphins nagent devant nous!

Owing to their bright and colorful and beautiful body, plumage, and feathers in the wings they are extremely fancied by humans. Their colorful body as a result has been a curse for them as they are constantly sought by bird catchers and hunters. (Photos by George Baccaloni)
