White water rapid with my daughter.

 
Since weather is still very good i decided to take my daughter to experience some white water rapid upriver. Wasn't expecting it too be anything special since water level is low due to dry summer.
 
We were quickly on our way and managed to do ~1km upstream when far too familiar symptoms were there again. Engine was loosing rpm no matter what i did with the throttle. Turn it of let it sit for a while and start it up again and it works for short period of time.

 
Of course there is no other way than to turn back and hope we make it to hoverport. Which we did, by the way. We idled our way back and before going ashore i stopped the engine for few minutes to cross the shoreline easily and this plan worked.

 

Ok, so there is officially something wrong with the carb that's beoynd my, or few others, understanding.
