[Member-Forum] Another similar dive...

[James Frankland via Member-Forum]

Hi All
I got a dive in on Wednesday which was really good.

Started off a bit worrying when my brother who was driving the support boat
got a rope around the prop and it killed the engine.  He eventually managed
to get it going, but it was concerning as once im on the sand waiting for
the tide, i cannot abort the day.

It goes to show how reliant i am on the support boat.  It contains all the
emergency things and is there in case i have a motor failure to pull me
away from danger.  The tides and wind here can be menacing, even on a nice
day so i could find myself on the rocks pretty quick if i lost power.

I am thinking I will get a bigger boat.

I was carrying an anchor this time, which i havent done before and i was
grateful I had it, as i was thinking that if the boat couldnt get going I
would just anchor off the bay and wait it out until the tide went out.

However it was all good in the end.
