Thanks to advice from several people, we have done our best to preserve motor from corrosion damage. Cannot get it started so no house batteries and no freezer. Eating like mad to chew through meals that are slowly starting to defrost. Finally have a use for all the spare torch batteries we have lugged with us for the last 6 months. Very glad we have manual pump toilets - electric flush would be hopeless right now! Both well, enjoying sailing with sunny skies and starry nights. Good progress yesterday but becalmed right now, so we are sitting in the sunshine with a cup of coffee and waiting for wind!
