Winching-Whirlwind style

Whilst sitting ,uncomfortably wearing an immersion suit and a back-pack dinghy,somewhere near a hover in Anglesey Bay,struggling to maintain 215-225 RRPM,computer- out(manual throttle),with a grip on the stick that would reshape it,and strangling the throttle,I became aware of Master(AEop/Eng/ALM) Tony ? Bates, standing on my right,wiping my face with a salty glove,and whispering( well shouting,actually)` Get that f£$%^&G RPM back to 219,lad or you`ll be on the wire next trip`,or some such encouragement; it broke the tension, and we proceeded apace after that..
