Hi all,
Due to some mechanical issues that need to get worked on at the pier we are headed back early and slowly. Apparently? out of the 4 engines we have been running on 3 and now the 3rd has issues.
I will likely download pics on Saturday sometime and may start a whole new thread.
Hey moderators where do you want the pics?

more info on the ship

Looked at the ship specs and only see one prop, are they running all for engines to one shaft?

Re: This months adventure...begins Tuesday
 

Nice reports sandy hook research guy....was hoping you would catch some Halibut...score!

Re: This months adventure...begins Tuesday
 

I'll check on the "one shaft" question. I haven't been below yet, but was thinking about wandering down there with the engineer/gearhead that I've made friends with.
