We once had the gear cable on our Morse control snap while we were approaching 
Osney Lock on the Thames, with the result that by the time the steerer realised 
that we were still in forward, we were heading for the gates at quite a lick.

I have to admit that, in our concern to avoid damaging ourselves or anything 
else  too badly, we somehow failed to appreciate the appropriateness of having 
Morse issues in Oxford...
