Greetings,

Poor old "Lust", she seems to have a history of such embarrassing episodes. On Global 86 (aka Globule 86), a 1986 World Wide deployment, she only got as far as the Nab Tower before a gearbox blew up and she had to return to port for substantial repairs.

Aye

You can't get enough photos of "O'Boats".

P.S

Did I mention that Olmeda (my ship) got all the way round without mishap....
