Our last major repair/replacement before we take off this evening. Our old prop, victim of time and electrolysis, was chipping away and deteriorating. We tried to have a welder patch it up but it was past the point of repair and we had to have a replacement rush ordered. Our Pacific crew member @annaleigh2020 brought this shiny beauty along in her duffel bag, which saved us 3 weeks of waiting around Panama City. It should be on this afternoon, just before we head out! Advances in propeller design and sharp new blades should put a little pep in our step as we make our way! We also want to give a shout out to our alma mater @collegeofcharleston for the lovely backdrop 😉. We can’t wait to share this passage with you, stay tuned on Twitter and Facebook (@ApparentWinds for both).
