We went to Gib but it was closed so anchored in La Linea instead then fueled up the next morning and carried on..

pirate Re: Slipped rudder..

Job ended today.. Peregrine is on the hard just East of the Corinth Canal till the owner gets back from some commitments back home.
A great sail from Patri to the West entrance of the canal where we anchored behind the breakwater to await passage through..
Wind was gusting to 30 knots and waves breaking over the breakwater.. not a lot of room but it was sheltered.
Call came to go and we started hauling anchor to follow another boat through.. owner shouted back the anchor was free so I put the helm hard over and gunned the engine.. next thing the owner shouts back that the anchors not coming up and the chains running back along the hull.. I assume the burst of speed has driven the anchor back and its hooked on the keel so I throttle down and tell him to let more chain out and let gravity take effect...
Wrong.. what had happened was the windlass motor had died so we now had 10metres out in 7.5 of depth.. no way we could go through.. so I turned round and got as close to the breakwater as I dared then we re-anchered.
Control were pretty good and once we had explained the situation said no problem.. stay till you get it fixed.
By the next morning after a night of 2 on 2 off anchor watches we resorted to the line to winch tactic and finally lifted the hook in time to follow a motorboat through at 8am..
Fly home tomorrow via Zurich-Porto then its work out a flight to Miami to collect a Lagoon 450 to take to Lisbon.
But a good job done.. 2700 miles between May 26th and June 29th.. including 9 days in Portimao for rudder repair.. a night in La Coruna.. La Linea.. Malta and Patri.. not counting the last night above.
Owners comment.. "I never realised what an endurance trial a boat delivery is.."

Re: Slipped rudder..

Good job of educating the owner, Boatie! I guess their first lesson is about the fallibility of deadlines, then boat stuff.

Cheers, and have a great delivery back from the Excited States!

Re: Slipped rudder..

I wonder what percentage of deliveries go off without a hitch? 10%?
