Sorry about the delay in replying mate. We only surfaced briefly but I got to spend 10 mins on the bridge, now at least when my wife says the weathers like the North Pole I can say “nah nothing like itâ€. Winds her up no end, He He. Highlights of the trip include the TS’s ever increasingly complex bottle and bathy tube condensation catchers. A yank Ice Pilot called, gen dit, Randy Ray who exhibited some scary homosexual tendencies. Professor Wadhams who was at least 90 years old and had bad taste in pyjamas, shaking him was scary you never knew if he’d expired in his sleep!
