old and new

Sea Tern's propeller and shaft were removed last Friday. The new one has been machined and is on the left. You can see the scoring and corrosion on the old one on the right. It was leaking water and Herm was not able to stop the leak. That's why!

This project has added a week to our time here but we hope to be launched on Saturday. After we are sure the new shaft is OK, we hope to head south, weather permitting, on Tuesday. It will be a 6 day (and night!) trip to Nuevo Vallarta.
