Ai Helis Beach To White Rocks Bay

Peter Robinson

I left it about 3 hours between little trips. while waiting I adjusted what I thought would keep the throttle cable tight in. I got the anchor up and headed off. the engine was starting in low revs. as I tried to accelerate I r alised I couldn't. I must have tightened the nut incorrectly. I quickly put the auto pilot on and got the boards up and ratchet on and happy days it was back to normal. I quietly motored to White Rocks Bay enviously watching the lucky guys sailing in the other direction - me having no genny at the moment. anyway, I safely arrived and all seems well..the engine is still screaming - even louder than before in fact - in neutral so I turned the engine off as soon as I could. I will start the engine again briefly to reverse on the anchor in a moment
