turnip

Turnip is a Honda 2.3 HP outboard motor, a 4-stroke air-cooled model. We bought it in San Diego in October 2016. When paired with Iggy, Turnip carried us safely from ship to shore.

At the start of our jump from Mexico to French Polynesia in 2017, we added angry eyes and eyebrows to the hood. We like how Turnip appeared to be constantly displeased with us from afar.

On April 10th 2021, Turnip was passed down to another owner and later that same year we purchased Teapot, a good rowing dinghy, eliminating the need for an outboard.
