Zulu Down

Bad news from the ferry front.  After waiting for hours for customs to clear them at their last stop in South Africa Cory and Pete finally got airborne only to have one of the Malibu’s turbos decide to play the fool, give up the ghost, become an ex-turbocharger.  Luckily they were right next to an airport and made it down safely.  So far they’ve made it only 176 miles on their 10,000 mile trip and now have to get a turbo charger fixed in the middle of Africa.  So good luck with that.

Photo: Well....not the day we had hoped for. After waiting HOURS for customs at our last stop in S. Africa, one of the turbos shit the bed on us in flight. Luckily right next to an airport, and It was a safe landing, but now, who knows when we can get out the hell out of here. We only made 176mi out of out 10,000+mi trip.... She will get us home, but not as fast as we would have liked! Photo: Well....not the day we had hoped for. After waiting HOURS for customs at our last stop in S.
