Jeanne Socrates, sailing solo on the yacht Narayda, anchors in Taiohae Bay, Nuku Hiva, in the Marquesas Islands to provision and perform repairs. While returning to the boat by dinghy, the outboard motor stops unexpectedly, leaving the vessel drifting toward the anchor chain before she manages to pull the dinghy alongside the yacht.4:00 She later discovers the engine failure resulted from the safety lanyard’s red kill-switch knob shifting slightly and cutting off the fuel supply; working the knob in and out restores operation.8:40 During the stay, she also troubleshoots a non-functional tricolor masthead light.6:43 After testing the wiring at the mast base in the saloon with a multimeter and confirming 13 volts of power, she concludes the fault lies at the top of the mast, necessitating a future climb.7:24 Additionally, she plans to source acetone and PVC glue in town to reattach D-rings to her dinghy, as the current bridle setup risks damaging the tubes.4:28
