End of August it was time to fly again to Sagarena. Only Maciej was planned to come with me for 1 1/2 weeks.
On the first Day we have taken Sagarena out of the water and start to deinstall all in line to the shaft. We finished to deinstall Transmission, Damperplate, Shaft and Propeller.
We had time for Swimming Pool Sessions and very nice dinner every Evening. We just had to wait for the new Adapter Plate, then cutting the shaft to the new length. Unfortunately during installation of the Transmission, the Volant Housing has been broken. Ömer perfekt like always … was welding the Aluminum Cast Housing.
The new Propeller required a new Nut with a Security Screw. Unfortunately one hours before launching Sagarena, to fix the Shaft with the Bullflex Coupling a Screw has broken, Hasan's Crew made it, 4 new Screws. The Speedtest with the new Setup was surprising. In the Bozburun Yacht Club Maciej was staying in Eddies Hotel. The really great expirience was to Sail with to big Trimaran of Eddie.
After a stormy crossing, the Pre Dieselfilter was very dirty so I had to connected the forward and return Dieseltube to a Canister. In Kairo Marina I was pumping out about 90l of dirty Diesel. To clean the Main Dieseltank, I was 2 times using the pressure wash followed by a Water Vacuum Cleaner. But at 23:00 the strong Wind was blowing the Vacuum Cleaner in to the sea, I just caught it, but it pulled me in to the water, fell head over into the water, between the Wall and Yacht.
Next day the Dieseltank Truck has filled up again fresh Diesel (300l)
After 120nm solo sailing, I arrived very happy to Global Sailing.
Sagarena and me felt home again.
