That is a SERIOUS amount of lead.
We just opted to go back out. They made sure to post on the POD the name of the dumb*** who cost us a day in port. Want to know the REAL fun part, when we got back in, there was a team standing by to perform an exam. The ORSE team. Yeah, fun time for all. A suprise ORSE to add to that weeks fun.
That week has some choice memories when I go back and read my diary.
