Season 3 of Slow Boat Sailing's round the world trip is here and it did not go well. Captain Linus is scrambling to get the engine started and to stop smoking when the Slow Boat is put into the water after 9 months on the hard in Tahiti. He replaces the stuffing box, the air filter, impeller, starter, and the Balmar 70 amp alternator before the Yanmar 3GM30F engine will work.

Linus sails to Papeete and has engine overheating issues. He shops for parts and replaces a very disgusting toilet (head) on his Island Packet 31-foot sailboat.

Captain Linus Wilson is the author of the travel narratives SLOW BOAT TO THE BAHAMAS, HOW TO SAIL AROUND THE WORLD PART-TIME, and SLOW BOAT TO CUBA. He has also edited the annotated editions of SAILING TO TREASURE ISLAND by Captain J.C. Voss and SAILING THE OGRE by Mabel Stock.

Captain Linus Wilson is the author of How to Sail Around the World Part-Time which is available in eBook and softcover on Amazon and in audiobook for all patrons of Slow Boat Sailing at patreon.com/slowboatsailing

On the Slow Boat Sailing Podcast Linus Wilson has interviewed the crew of Sailing SV Delos, WhiteSpotPirates (Untie the Lines), Chase the Story Sailing, Gone with the Wynns, MJ Sailing, Sailing Doodles, SV Prism, Sailing Zatara, Adventures of an Old Seadog and many others.
