False start. We left the dock, Anne wanted to drive as she is getting more confident handling the boat. Well we start down the fairway and engine dies. Restart and it dies again. Can't start it. I call the harbor and tell them we need a tow then go forward to raise the staysail which is ready on deck for the ride north.
We sail around the harbor waiting for the tow boat, then get put back in a slip. We decide to get a mechanic to take a look at it. Anne saves the day again as he doesn't really speak much english. We are getting a few things fixed in the engine that might help overall performance and maybe we will be faster going home.
I was pretty happy with all we had in parts, as I was able to rebuild the toilet, fix all electrical problems, rigging issues, change all the filters and now I had new injectors to put in the engine, the mechanic was really amazed.
Let's see how this goes tomorrow.
