Splendid Saga! I have a few truly embarrassing moments from my first passages as skipper, I should have the courage to tell them too....like the one 250 miles west of Walfish Bay where I mistook a giant tow (oilrig?) on the horizon 20 or 30 miles away for the bridge deck of a tanker trying to run me down imminently no matter which way I altered course, or how often or severely (blush)...I have never been more frightened, and have never been any safer! "Big Ship, Big ship...ch 16...panic...." ...I still blush..
After 3 years this has no thumbs down. That zero was sp surreal that I was overcome with an attack of Percyitis and my index trembled over the virgin thumb for a full minute. Luckily, I remembered in the nick, that Percy had gone over. To the other side? I wondered. Was he looking for more pounds, shillings and pence? I would have to seek the next installment.
Excellent, fun video Mr Tom, thx, Andrew
