THURSDAY 5TH MAY—DAY 11 GENERAL air of enthusiasm and excitement. Mass crew shave and clean up ready for our mid-morning date with the outside world. No wonder ships, even tugs, are of the female gender. ' Jackman' arrived and set to with her heaving line. After much heaving, the double towing hawser was lifted aboard and secured to all available winches from stem to stern. When the strain was taken up, ' Soldier' moved sweetly in the flat water created by the tow. Speed up to eight knots. FRIDAY 6TH MAY—DAY 12 ON we surge through dense fog—typical Newfoundland Grand Banks pea-souper. For most of the time ' Jackman ' is totally invisible. Still heavy seas and, although not raining, everything is soaking wet. The mist pours off the main boom as though through a tap. Tow had to be halted to repair the port fairlead which was damaged when the hawser was brought aboard. The wind was so strong that 'Soldier' would not slop—just ploughed on towards ' Jackman' causing the hawser to dip under the yacht—not a healthy position. However, the repair was made and the tow resumed. ' Jackman ' reported iceberg danger—just to keep us on our toes! SATURDAY 7TH MAY—DAY 13 GRAVEYARD WATCH the most cold and wet four hours ever endured. Rain added to the interest. However, land now in sight. Rain stopped, as if to herald the end of our journey, as we glided in through the entrance to St John's. The tow was broken, adventure was over—this time. Postscript. A new rudder had to be manufactured and flown out from UK, the repair taking too long for most of the crew to be able to wait. 1 therefore flew back home. Yet again the mission was not completed, but third time just has to be lucky. ' British Soldier' finally arrived in UK on Thursday, 9th June, with a crew of seven, having experienced worse weather than ours, although that leg was numbered 12A! Under Tow. Statistics: Total distance logged fifteen hundred and thirteen miles, total time at sea twelve days six hours, distance towed three hundred and fifty miles, maximum wind force eight. — 160 — REMEMBER THE DEADLINE FOR COPY —28th OF EACH MONTH — WITH THE EDITOR AT DEEPCUT |
