Mid-Atlantic repair
The propeller that held
A get-home repair on a variable-pitch propeller, epoxied by hand and meant to last a week. It stayed on the boat for years and crossed oceans before it finally let go, two hundred miles from landfall.

We tell it with the ending included, because the ending is the point.
