Another error...this is supposed to be a Morris yacht. The engine water intake line is sabotaged and the boat nearly floods...no mention of simply turning off the sea ****! The hero substitutes a piece of FUEL line to repair the break!

Oh yeah, forgot that part. And they were "sailing" at the time; why the hell not just shut the damn seacock???


BTW if you like Airplane novels, John Nance writes really good stuff. I've been amazed at how accurate they are. An acquaintance of mine knew him through work and I told her to tell him THUMBS UP!
