Meanwhile later the same day

With Elektra moved from her winter mooring, it was time for me to pull winter mooring anchors out of the mud and pick up her lines. While I was there Anthony our engineer came along in his loader tractor heading to Elektra to remove her old Bukh engine.

I had to go to work after that but on looking at Elektra next day the engine was gone.

I was taking a few photos and Anthony arrived with Elektra’s new Yanmar 3YM20, l was able to help get her new engine aboard. Anthony is busy this time of the year and after fitting the new stern shaft and fixing new engine barriers down he was off to his next job. But now the rest of the fitting can be done whatever the weather.
