There's always going to be someone to come and tow you home. 
Or you could just flag down that supertanker that's heading your way, I'm sure the skipper will be sympathetic towards your plight. (especially if you tell him you were told to be home sharp for tea.)  |
Pull up a bollard - we broke down in Southampton Water in front of a large tanker a long time ago (about 1978) when a newish 50 hp Merc decided to reject it’s impeller.
Luckily we had a 20ish year old Seagull in the back of our SR4 covered in carpet and with a large dose of easystart it went first time. We staggered gratefully into the Hamble.
I’m not 200 years old, I was a very enthusiastic kid in those days but it’s very recently that I’ve given up on a spare engine even in this part of the world.
