    Starting the engine that has been sitting for 10+ years

    In this video we are starting the engine that has been sitting for 10+ years. The time has come for us to make a first attempt to start the engine, after it has been standing for quite some time. As far as we know more than 10 years. We also make sure to cover some of the leakages in the deck a bit better and also try to start the hydraulic unit which controls some systems on the boat.

We sometimes do smaller updates on our Instagram: @sailingannemon so follow us there to get the most recent updates. As soon as we have found a new sailboat we will do more updates on what our next adventure will be, process/budgeting of the new adventure and upgrades/renovation on the new boat. Brief plan is to set sail again in a few years time, and we will sail across the Atlantic again to the Caribbean, and after that we will…
