Wow, we were on that sailing. What’s your source regarding engine trouble?

They may have engine problems, but the winds are the real deciding factor. You don't want to be in a tender in rough seas and high winds!

Wow the engine may have needed repairs, but the deciding factor was the hurricane with a week engine. But if it makes you feel better to think you were lied to, so be it.
