The SVAquadesaic was put up on the hard at RAM Marina on the Rio Dulce
in June 2013 (the start of hurricane season) for some rudder repair,
bottom paint and a new 2014 survey for insurance. The first leg of our
2014 sailing season starts with a trip down the Rio Dulce, Guatemala to
Roatan, Honduras. As you follow the track you might notice that they,
the captain and crew, sailed almost the entire way. This was due to the
failure of the saltwater impeller. A small part that is a critical
item needed to run the engine. I was not on board for this portion of
the trip and the data is slow to come in so I don't know what happened to
the spare impeller. I do know that so far this sailing season I have
not been seasick, due to the fact I'm sitting on my lovely deck
overlooking the river in our back yard. Its off to a good start I would
say.
