We Ran Aground! Trouble on the ICW - Leg 6 Sailing SV Caterpillar

With the boat in the water again, we set off for an expected 3 day trip to motor 100 miles down the ICW to Wilmington and our chosen boatyard. We run into trouble along the way when we lose one engine and are forced to go the rest of the way with just one working engine. Later, we run aground and get stuck and have to get creative to save the boat.

We are Bill and Dannalie Saunders, a retired couple from Buffalo, NY inching our way around the world on our Knysna 440 Sailing Catamaran S/V Caterpillar. We have created this channel so you can follow us as we travel. See where we go and how we get there. Learn a little, teach us something, have some laughs, and be inspired. We have been living aboard S/V Caterpillar for two years now, but many people have asked us about our story and how we made this dream happen, so we’ve decided to publish this video series. Please subscribe and stay tuned as we take you back to the beginning when we bought what we think is the perfect bluewater sailing catamaran, a Knysna 440 built in South Africa, refit her ourselves, and set off to sail around the world. We’re not young, good looking YouTube stars. We’re just your average retired couple. Middle-aged and a bit out of shape. If we can do this, you can too. Hopefully our story will inspire you. Please subscribe and click the thumbs-up button and share our channel with your family and friends and anyone you think might be interested. This will certainly inspire us! Thanks!
