Norwegian coal tender in East coast of England
Now this was a first.
AN52.
Sonarman reports a contact. We plan interception course. I position my boat to periscope dept. Periscope up. Waiting. Bummer. A coal tender. No problem. Not the first time. But... wait... What kind of flag is this? Norwegian? Here?
Pretty impressive. The coal tender's captain intends to cross the North Sea to Bergen... with a coal tender... Kon Tiki style... 
Norwegians are nuts
