Trip #9 this season. #6 aboard Lightkeeper. It’s been one our busiest weeks ever with a work trip last Sunday, the Nahma delivery Wednesday and another work team Thursday….and now the team turnover from Rollins to Makis.

The intended celebratory trip, Joerg & Lightkeeper’s 50th journey to the island, turned traumatic with a suspected broken connecting rod in the starboard engine partway into the outbound leg. Joerg coaxed Lightkeeper to the island and back on a single engine, successfully completing the team transfer. Thanks Charlie & Gary who intended to help complete priming the boathouse…it wasn’t much of a day for you and a long one at that.
