  1. After fixing the transmission and shaft seal issues on my #sailboat, I set off southwards.
    Winds were light, so I was motor sailing.
    Down below, I smelled diesel, quickly traced to a leak (squirt squirt) in the high pressure side.
    Engine off, sailed back upwind and into the nearest port - thankfully my boat sails well in light winds. Spent the evening pumping diesel out of the bilge and cleaning up.

    Time for that electric motor…
