    Admiral's
    That's a good one JB - must have been a very interesting trip - only similar one I can recall was the US sailors who bought a Landing Craft - not sure which version maybe a LCT - and sailed it all the way back to the USA from the Med somewhere shortly after WW2. Not one of them was a deck officer....... All I know is the modern sailors could not cope without their gadgets - forgetting that in the vastness of the sea things can break and electronics stop working - and they would not even carry a
    sextant
    or know how to use it Slocum used an old alarm clock and the stars to navigate by, my Dads pal Harry Pidgeon used a
    sextant
    but still managed to run aground about 120 miles up the west coast from Capetown while asleep - had to be towed +-300yards back to the sea by a team of oxen - no leaks so Islander must have had a tough hull.........

    Understood Sub, have seen the SAT photos and forecasts for BC area. Not good. Explains the short trip to Rhoose. Don't forget to intersperse the Training with some competitive inter-ship sports - a good valve for "letting off pent up steam" 👍 And I don't mean Deck Quoits or derivatives thereof!! Apropos Running fix; as a Snotty I never could get the hang of using a
    sextant
    whilst running round the deck🤔 No GPS receivers or Smartphone Apps in them thar days! Carry on Sub. WE are well satisfied with your performance since your commissioning. Keep it up😊 FLEET OUT// 😎
