Well, today's task is getting this thing in and pumping coolant. We've been running on one engine for the last couple hundred miles. Thanks to our friends Eric (@ducatista1172) & Captain Jimmy or helping us track down this pump while we were out of cel range. We also were super happy with tonya and the whole crew at @deatonyachtservice here in Oriental, NC. Thanks for everything Y'all ! #svbellaluna #yanmar #friends #weLeftBaltimore

I got a bit of a shinner stepping out of the cockpit today... #svbellaluna #ouchie #shinegg

Well, the good news is that we have two rudders in our boat again. the bad news is this guy may have lost his life due to a leaking "waterproof" case... I hope the ol' rice trick works but I'm having doubts. #svbellaluna @gopro @goprobr #drowned #notsowaterproof

These things are now blue and going in the water tomorrow (2 rudders, not the can.) it's been a long road getting these things built and into the boat and it ain't over yet! #svbellaluna #rudders #interluxpaint #toocold #doingwhatwegottado #timetogo

A little video we did about our trip with our friend Captain Jimmy, out to deliver donations to the Newlead Granadino , a ship that has been trapped in Baltimore harbor for almost 3 months. Link in bio. #svbellaluna #svbellalunacares #catamaran #doinggood #humanrights #reliefefforts

The crew of SV BellaLuna checking out the #uscgeagle when she was here in Baltimore this summer. We are dreaming of warmer temps as we are stuck here with temps dropping. I'm not going to lie it sucks! #svbellaluna @dinawisniewski #wehatethecold

Check out how calm the water was a couple hundred miles off the coast of the US. It was so calm that when we scared flying fish out of the water you could see where the droplets of water fell off of them leaving ringlets of waves on the glassy surface. The new video is live, link in bio. #svbellaluna #catamaran #catamarã @fountainepajot @gopro @goprobr www.youtube.com/svbellaluna_official

We put a new section up on our website called "SV BellaLuna CARES" and it has info on where you can donate items to help the crew stuck on the #NewleadGranadino (see the whole story in an earlier post or on our website) we took a bunch of stuff that our crew bought for them (beanies and snacks for all 18 ) along with hot food that was donated by two local restaurants. Our friend Jim from our marina took his boat over to the ship with some folks from a local restaurant, the manager of Urban Pirates as well as a news crew from Channel 2 in Balt. We'll have an edit of that trip online soon. Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide for these guys. #svbellaluna @urbanpiratesbaltimore #doinggood #helpingothers
