Simone The Engine Comes Home | Rebuilding My Perkins Diesel Engine In Africa |

Ola Winded Voyagers.

We're back to our regular programming about Simone the diesel engine. I was sidetracked by a three and half day passage, a day in jail and several days processing and reclaiming my boat.

Back in Dakar, days befor sailing, Arona and crew brought Simone the Perkins Diesel engine back home to Galopin via the beach and dinghy. He installed it just enough for us to go a give it a feel. Simone purred and we gloated. One of two of his most memorable jobs of his career. That’s the good news. I'm having trouble with my solar Victron MPPT charge regulator. So we zip through the city on Tafa's scooter to get it looked at. With a stop at the police with crew. Two Frenchies and a Japanese.

It was a stressful few days and a looming deadline. I haven't had deadlines in years and there was still so much to do. Boats.

Hugs to everyone from Dakar
