On Sunday we took the Al Galdano and friends out for a Bluefin jig/troll trip. Was making excellent time until the port engine seawater pump shaft fractured 45 miles off. Was hoping for a better offshore experience. No way to fix it so we trolled the AP area for 4 hours and then trolled to MI with out a touch. Reports were spotty until late afternoon when it turned on. Another slap in the face. Oh well 2 new pumps ordered so should be good to go in a few days.

Red sky in the morning sailors take warning?

Or at least call your mechanic.
