did the NB thing yesterday out 22 miles butt fishing and the water/wind came up fast and furrious and proceded to kick our butts.as we headed in with the other boats our motor went down we where getting tossed and droped real bad called the CG we where still about 20 miles out and getting pumled we where able to restart the main motor but it was not back up 100% could only make about 3kmp SOG. the CG meet up with us and then shadowed us in oh so nice to have them there recue swimmer and all! motor had just been into the shop for fluid chages and new fuel line filter etc. it was in great shape never know when the S will it the fan.

Glad to hear you made it back safe and sound.

Been there and done that one before! But we got the to "ride" with the toll rope for ten miles in very heavy seas!

My buddy had hooked up his "cassette recorder" without using a fuse. He never even remembered turing the darn thing on! Every time we stated to run the engine, it blew out the main fuse! When he ran out of fuses, the game was over! Not much fun, but it certainly was a well learned lesion! Glad to see that your adventure turned out OK too!
