I'm leaving Lorient in September '42. For a change I decided to do so at 1X compression, and only visually from the bridge, following my minesweeper escort. I wasn't using the nav map at all, just following my escort. Good thing I was doing so, too.
About halfway through I'd noticed a tramp steamer heading our way. ![]() I'd expected it to stop; heave to . . . or something. After all, I'd think naval vessels had priority. Even if they didn't, you don't cross each others bows, true? All of a sudden I noticed my escort going to back speeds. And my comfortable 700 meters follwing distance was abruptly shrinking. Quite fast, too! I had to go to back full in a hurry to kill my forward speed. And still that tramp steamer kept approaching! ![]() ![]() ![]() Finally it passed, and I waited for my escort to continue guiding me. Hehe. It never went to ahead again. Just accelerated backwards until . . . ![]() So much for my escort out of Lorient! :rotfl: |

Poor Bernard should never have been assigned to Lorient, it's well known it's the toughest port to navigate out of :rotfl:

![]() As for Bernard, check the first post of this thread. That's the first recorded post about Bernard and that's how I "gave birth" to Bernard and then people picked him to blame for all their misfortunates at sea. ![]() |
