    So - having throughly pissed off an American Cousin - I'll now upset a Celtic brother...With the tale about:
    Two Irish crewmen whose trawler had sunk in the Atlantic and had managed to survive by clambering aboard an iceberg. Suddenly Phadrig looks up as a shape appears through the mist..."By god Joseph...We're saved....It's the Titanic...." ;)

    Hey folks as Bergalia states why waste a good story! Its been done, its a good yarn, and it reminds us all of the infalabilities of going to sea - don't knock it (enjoy it's someone elses co**-up). Now, being an ex radar operator in the best navy in the world, could someone explain how they operate radar in the other ones? (that'll get some comments!!!) ;) :D

    Doug,

    Didn't the Blue Angels do something similar during training a few years back?

    Yoke.

    P.S. There was a supposedly true story about Playstation talking to a oil platform in the Atlantic, with the boat visible on the platforms radar they wouldn't believe it was a sailboat.
