Delivering SV Sea Dragon via Alderney


There we were, in the middles of the English channel; when the day-fuel tank pump broke down! The point of no return, half way across with unknown resources to fix the pump in the Isles; or returning to Lymington and abort the mission....MAYBE not so dramatic as that, as we found a replacement kit for the pump, cleaned out the fuel filter, and were on our way. The sky was blue and the seas were rolling, great day to cross the channel. A very quick exploration of Alderney's war history, and we were off for Lymington again. The vessel successfully delivered back to England, good English ale all around, we cleaned the boat as best we could and heading off to the airport, heads filled with idea's of refitting the Sea Dragon for future expeditions of exploring, learning, and communicating.
