Lucy Morales makes a voyage

Well not exactly a voyage, but she managed to extricate herself from the pontoon and court disaster at the bottom of a spring tide, with neighbouring yachts aslant at grotesque angles, and where lug worms were being disturbed by their keels burrowing into the river bed. With the single cylinder Watermann engine puttering away, the result of some mighty swings on the cranking handle, she motored round to the fuel barge and took her fill of diesel fuel. Then she puttered back; a voyage indeed!
