Cruise Notes: Without doubt one of the shortest recorded log entries in the log book. Planned to go out for a 2 hour cruise and on accelerating away from Chatham Lock port engine failed to respond. Had manoeuvring speed when drive engaged but no power.

Asked for immediate return to lock due to engine problem, granted and reentered lock without problem.

On investigation found that the port engine throttle cable had failed. Seeking engineer assistance to fix.
