[s]Left Big Mamas, Tongatapu 0845 Sunday. Heading to Neiafu, Vava'u. All going well until about 6pm tonight when we decided to motor for a while to cover a bit of distance and there was a loud rattle and then the engine refused to start. Anthony thinks it's an issue with the starter motor and managed to fix it enough to start in an emergency.He'll look at it again in daylight, but at this stage it looks like we'll have to come into Neiafu under sail. Position at 2100[END]
