On this episode of Yard 2 Yacht:

What started as a hopeful plan to sail the 61-foot ketch Rosa Del Mar from Cape Canaveral to Spain by way of Bermuda and the Azores ended up as a 34-day life-threatening nightmare. Our leaky boat suffered equipment failures on the first day of the journey. On this ill-fated Atlantic crossing we had to cut our dinghy loose to save the ship, our mainsail never functioned, our navigation lights went dark, our batteries died, our bilge alarms constantly screamed that we were taking on water, but our bilge pumps didn’t work. Finally our watery fuel stopped both our engine and our generator for good, 200 miles from the coast of Portugal.
