Hmm... There's another option:
Wait for my ol' rusty boat to be fixed!

Considering that the next patrol is scheduled for the last days of June, i think that my next patrol will be with ol' rusty again but with shiny new propellers and a nice compressor!
PS: I actually dont know how much time it takes to repair such damages but if it takes long, for the sake of realism, ill accept your offer.
