Motored out of Mill Creek looking forward to a great sail towards Hampton when the motor acted up again.  A few harrowing seconds of a runaway engine and a lot of white smoke before I shut it down.

Justin from Reedville TowboatUS towed Ferrity to The Crazy Crab dock in Reedville.

The restaurant opens at noon and when the owner – Charles – arrived, I asked about local mechanics. He gave me a couple of contacts. Despite it being Sunday afternoon, I was able to talk with Lynn at Ampro Shipyard  at in Weems, VA. Lynn would have their mechanic – Jim – contact me Monday.
