After a short emotional sail, our inboard engine coolant system decided to quit, as we were trying to make it back to our marina. For some reason there was no water coming out of our exhaust, which means our intake wasn't working properly, or something had clogged our engine.

Alex did some quick thinking and temporarily resolved the issue. We then regrouped, and came back for a proper fix.

It turned out that our cooling water drain c0ck, had been filled with debris, and had prevented water to properly run through our engine for cooling purposes. We spend the day unclogging it, and doing some extra engine maintenance. It's now working better than ever. #Win

See you next time,

Krystal & Alex
