Summer 2011, W Coast Sweden, Varberg towards Oslo

The exhaust elbow broke in half after 7 years/700 hours. The big pipe is the exhaust from the engine, the small pipe is for the cooling water. We had both exhaust and cooling water filling the boat for a couple of minutes before anyone noticed, by which time the bilges were overflowing. Strapped it up with some leather and a jubilee clip, which held for long enough to manoever alongside at the end of the day. A fishing boat was in for a refit and the welder at the boatyard put it back together again first thing in the morning, so we weren't delayed.
