Entertaining the crew (Ivor, Tony & Jill), after our prop shaft sheared, en-route up the Shannon. One of those time when the inclusion on the ship's manifest of a set of Japanese pipes saves the day - without them, we would surely have died of boredom as we waited to be rescued.
Other players of note in this drama were Justin Conneely who managed to commandeer a friend's Broom to effect the initial rescue, Joe & Ben Treacy who towed 34.M back to Shannon Harbour a few days later, Ciarán O'Loughlin who machined a perfect repair, Justin again who installed that repair and of course Makoto Nakatsui who made the pipes.
The wonderful Tony Boland took the vid and just sent it to me this morning (a year after the event) so I said I'd have to throw it up on KZitem to mark the adventure. And it also marks the wonderful community on the water - this happened on Sunday afternoon. We were back under power by the following Thursday - as Mr. Vadar famously once said, "impressive, most impressive".
