Another bad trip...

This past weekend, The Flying Wasp again tried to make it to Boston, and again it failed. She got to the same point in the Cape Cod Canal (just before Sagamore Bridge) when the engine decided that it did not want to provide any power. TimDog and I motored (slowly) into the Sandwich Marina, where G&S Marine came to pick it up to determine the issue.

In the spring of 2003, Meeker and I attempted the same trip up the Canal, and the canal got the best of us then too, as the 4.3L MerCruiser blew out it's oil sender, leaving the Flying Wasp helpless, only to be rescued by the Army Core of Engineers.

The running score...
Cape Cod Canal - 2
Flying Wasp - 0
