Trouble at Sea (Kenai Fjords 2/?)
Alaska Travelog #10
Asea in Resurrection Bay - Sun, 16 Jun 2024, 10am
Things are not exactly... ship shape... on our cruise today. We're idling out in Resurrection Bay about an hour out of Seward because one of the ship's engines is overheating. It seems that the coolant impeller has gotten gummed up with seaweed. The captain is belowdecks in the engine room trying to wrangle the problem. His first approach to fixing it didn't work, so we limped over to a spot with mobile reception so he could call an expert engine mechanic for advice. He's said he's hoping he can McGyver a solution here at sea. I hope he can, too, so today's 8 hour tour doesn't become a 3 hour tour. A three hour tour!
