The engines go...... (silence)
It's been a while! Where have you all been?
Oh, right.
So we're thiiiiiiiis close (holds fingers mere millimeters apart) to selling the boat, but before the transaction is complete the buyer wants to have the boat hauled out, pressure-washed, and surveyed. All fair and good requests (and things we had done back when we were in her shoes) but there turned out to be one minor hang-up with getting this dealt with - our engines. They haven't been run in a very long time (hands up if you can guess when the last time was), which I will point out is a very stupid thing to do.
