Oops. As a learning pilot I learned to do a very thorough pre-flight inspection. In some ways it was easy since way before that I used to use boats owned by relatives, and rented, and learned to make sure it had fuel and was water tight!
Tourist on boat: “look at that indigenous mom, clad in her tribe’s traditional attire (the torn tunic is a nice fashion touch!) and her two ragamuffin children; one of them looks like he’s been adopted from a pack of wolves.“

Is this when the boat springs a leak? And isn’t there a book about this? " Mom and her terrible, awful, horrible, rotten no good day"

One of those days. Don’t think it is going to get any better any time soon.

There are things that happen to a car that are mostly annoying. On a boat, those same things are inconvenient or worse. On a plane….

At least they broke down next to some lobster traps – without a phone they can survive on raw lobsters and bait until help arrives
