SDA239 Squalls and Injectors
Waking up in the pitch black to thirty-knot winds is stressful enough, but the radio alert about loose boats drifting through the dark mooring field puts everyone on immediate deck watch. On our mooring in Luperón, we are awakened in the early morning to heavy driving rain as runaway vessels threaten the anchorage. We resume our starboard engine rebuild, diving back into the mechanical grit with the heat exchanger installation, electrical work, and fuel injector assemblies. Marine diesel engine rebuilding featuring a Volvo Penta MD2030 heat exchanger installation and fuel injector assembly and a squall while living aboard a sailboat. -------------------- 🌊 Sailing Dark Angel follows our real-life journey sailing the Caribbean aboard our Island Spirit catamaran, sharing the challenges, adventures, and everyday moments of liveaboard sailing life. -------------------- 🎥 Become part of the Crew on Patreon Without a Crew, a Ship Has No Direction.
