We were talking about sailing, not running the engine.
I suppose you could start the engine, but why do that
if it isn't necessary. That's my point.

Engine?? What engine?

The one in my engine room next to the gen set.

This is a sailing newsgroup.

Sure is, and I carry a hell of a lot more sail than you do, whats your
point?

You are the sole watch keeper, at night,
sailing along close hauled in 25 knots
of wind. The helm is lashed. Suddenly
a squall line comes through and you are
taken aback, and find yourself hove-to
under full sail.

What do you do to get underway again?

Start the engine and power back on course.
Unlash the wheel and turn on the autopilot.
Kick my self in the ass for letting it happen in the first place.
