Short version: We went fishing on the North Sea in a 20' Boston Whaler with a 55 HP outboard motor and a 6 HP trolling motor. The big engine died and we were left with only the trolling motor. The tide ( IIRC, it was a 5.0 tide....... VERY strong & swift) was going out as we entered the mouth of the Deben River and the trolling motor would barely hold us in position. Then it conked out and we were stranded on a small spit of land just off-shore. The Life Boat Service was called but we got the motor running again and managed to make shore. Quite an adventure! Once again, Graham. Nice shot....... I like the cloud formation and the fellow's leg position suggests movement. Walker
