1-09-Losing Engine

As I was on helm, with a sudden loud thud the engine jumped off its holding and felt
into water. All was silent than. Luckily the engine was secured by a safety line.
Here Leslie attaches the engine and its housing back to the stern of the boat.

However the flooded engine did not wanted run anymore, and we were forced
to rely only on the (calm) wind for the rest of our training trip. Personally
I prefer to use wind only, and be patient. I do not like engines...
