The title is actually pretty close, it sounds like nobody knew how the helm system worked, nobody had been trained, and people were frantically pressing buttons trying to get control back.

Also, the vessel was doing freight only crossings and taking the long way across the strait via outer Queen Charlotte sound, because Kiwirail didn't trust the boat, in particular the transmission.

I'm sailing across the strait Saturday, wish me luck!

That system sounds like a bit of a nightmare to use. And worse to turn off.

Someone's loaned me a mountain bike, I've been out after work a few times this week. I'm saving up to buy my own one soon.

Also, I'll be helping with the south coast cleanup tomorrow, cleaning up Taputearanga island with the Wellington sea kayak network.
