It's late in the afternoon when we lift off from Sitka for the short hop to Chatham.
We decide to fly across the ranges on Baronof island, while we enjoy a beautiful sunset, and a moonrise...
but on the other side of the range, the weather is not so good...
..and the engines start to splutter too, due a defective carburator heaters. Then they quit altogether...
...luckily we were over water, and we make a succesfull dead stick landing.
We radioed for help, and within an hour, a Goose of the company arrives..
..which makes a waterlanding close by.
The mechanics on the Goose brought spares and soon, we can taxi to Chatham, which is close by.
