Cruising on one engine

I blew a serp belt and had to limp home 30 miles on one engine. There was just me and a mate. It was nerve wracking with just 2. I. Wouldn't chance it.

I have to agree David it stinks trying to cruise any distance on one limb with the other injured!

I had a heat exchanger blow while on the New River in Fort Lauderdale. Finished the last few miles on one engine and having to stop for bridges. Certainly wouldn't choose to run a twin on one engine.
 
Burned up a transmission bringing my boat home from baltimore on the delaware bay about 30 miles from Cape May at around 6pm. That was a looooong night. Made it there about 8 hours later on one engine. Not fun...
 
Destroyed my teleflex steering cable last year trying to come in on one engine without power steering. Had to nav in this weekend again on one engine and no power steering... not fun as you have to over compensate for a drive which is off centered wanting to push you not in a straight line, but off in the opposite direction the drive is located on.
