Luck – as I walk back to the boat, I spot guys doing
underwater repair in the harbor. I ask one of the crew if they could dive to
check Sélune propeller, they oblige, and indeed this was fortunate, because
they extract a nasty bunch of rope from the propeller – I think that we have
been really superLucky to have maneuvered with the engine, with this foul. Had
the rope tightened around the propeller at high revs, it could have jerked the
engine out of its mounting…
The local news interwiews the boats on the visitors pontoon. See here:
