Refresher skills - reg recovery, alternate air source buddy ascent.
Boat engine 1 of 2 breakdown halfway across Jervis Bay. Skipper Steve, tried to fix. While waiting, a pod of dolphins visited us.
Eventually we tacked across bay on one engine for a while, then received a tow from a powerful 4-engine whale-watching boat.
Later, hotel in Nowra. Dinner, shower, movie.
