I bet he is still at it. ;)

Not quite what I imagined the skipper doing.

I'd have a go if I was skipper. Great stress relief, and a great excuse to get outside for a while ;)

Deicing? I guess this "global warming" nonsense is on the way out!

I thought these boats were armed...? :88) Hacking away like a knight instead...

Are you suggesting that they shoot the ice off? :hmm:

Skybird 01-04-08 08:07 AM

Yeah cool idea for sure! Gimme a Seehecht torp anytime there is any ice around! Or maximum speed surfacing from 100 m!

Why not? A flamethrower ought to work fairly well!

Ah, why not go decks awash and let it float off? :hmm:

You'd think with a nuclear reactor on board, they would think of an easier way...
