Murphy again

Anyone with the slightest technical interest can see that this is not good. If you can see this part of your car in broad daylight than you'll know you won't be back on the road within a few hours. The same counts for us. What happened is that a piece of an inlet valve broke off and damaged the piston. So the complete piston and cilinder head have to be replaced. Of course Murphy's law decided that this should happen when we almost reached our Rendez-Vous position. So this means quite a few hours delay in our schedule. In the meantime I have to sit, relax and wait while the engineers and assistant engineers work like madmen against the clock to get our starboard engine running again.
