In the Royal Navy (for another 6 months anyway). Been away on HMS Brocklesby in the Med. Most of the time spent at 1-3 Knots when minehunting, sprinting at 14 Knots when both main engines working!! A deltic at 1700rpm just before it seizes is something to behold.Originally posted by sailorbaz View PostTell me about it, 14Kts you're lucky. The quickest we get is 12Kts

Yes, 22 years up in January. Been away for so long over the last 2 years haven't looked that hard yet. Not ready to be at home everynight, so offshore on the rigs, or my daughter quite fancies sending me on the cruise liners.Originally posted by sailorbaz View PostWhat you planning on doing when you come out mate?
