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!!!

Working aloft on a ship isn’t just a job — it’s a mix of skill, trust, and absolute focus. Whether it’s tightening bolts, checking equipment, or repairing fittings, every step matters when you’re meters above the deck with nothing but your safety harness. This is the side of seamanship most people never get to see: the heights, the wind, the adrenaline, and the precision behind every movement. Here’s a quick glimpse into what it really feels like to work aloft at sea. #shipcrew #humansatsea #marinelife #sea
