Well I must say I’m happy I “bit the bullet” and renewed my SeaTow for the year.
Sam and I were sitting in the cockpit motoring down the ICW when I smelled exhaust in the cockpit. When I smell exhaust in the cockpit it is a telltale sign that it is start time to cut the engine and sail as the wind is behind me. Well I looked up at the windex and saw that the wind was indeed still ahead of us at about 15 knots…, ‘strange’?
Well when I opened the hatch to the engine room I found the problem. The exhaust elbow was in two pieces and exhaust and colling water were flowing into the engine compartment. I cut the engine, dropped the hook, and called seatow. They brought us to a marina where ‘Fasaga” is resting.
Sam and I are enjoying the time alone as Guin went to her Dad’s for a week. It is so strange without the little one around. We are sitting in a little cafe, sipping coffee, eating quiche, and enjoying the morning.
I’ll be calling around Monday morning looking for parts (Yanmar) and hopefully be off in a few more days.
My buddy Chuck is sailing for Puerto Rico tomorrow. It’s his first big trip and he is really excited. I’ll get a link to his spot and post it.
Cheers all.
Happy Halloween.

I read about this particular failure all the time. Happened to me on our little SAAB 10 hp engine on our previous boat. Fortunately we found an able welder in Port Townsend and were soon once again on our way. Maybe I’d better add this elbow as a spare part alongside the spare alternator, starter and injectors.
