And just when the sun sets and the land sinks below the horizon behind I say:
"Ahead two thirds, navigator set course 275, radio Lorient harbor and tell Jurgen well see eachother again in a couple of weeks... its time for the hunt"
and I calmly walk down the ladder in the conning tower...
This is the stuff that makes SHIII whait it is... |
Well said, mate, these are nice moments... and having spent some time at sea irl helps appreciating them (thats something else than movies...), or others like a sunrise on a partly cloudy day on a calm sea,specially in the Med.
