I was motoring across the Catalina Channel one winters day with my dog. About half way across the engine temp began to spike, no water! I spent the next hour or so trying to get the offending obstruction out of the intake without diving. When I finally decided I needed to dive I sat down below looking at the engine and took a shot in preparation for the dive. Well I got another idea and with some duct-tape and a fire extinguisher I managed to blow it out. However the extinguisher popped loose on the second "ga-dush" and blew water and powder all over the cabin. Popped the hose back on and was underway. I had a bit of a mess but was running cool. As I was cleaning up I noticed an outline of me that was clean against the starboard bunk and overhead.
