In this episode, we were DROPPED 12 MILES out to sea, with a broken engine and no wind at all. And we tell you what to do: HOW TO FACE AN ENGINE BREAKDOWN at sea and how to be self-sufficient to be able to make a fortune arrangement, by your own means, and return to port. We will see the basic operation of a marine diesel engine, the most common problems that can arise, the main inventions and tools that I use to deal with them and some tricks and inventions. And, of course, the story of that day, which was intended to be a day of fishing for bonitos and ended up on an odyssey.
