Beat you to it by 25 minutes.

Hi,

It seems the weather affects Grey Funnel Line ships too.

This is the latest in quite a long line of problems to beset these vessels, the latest being blamed on heavy weather not the fact that the Electronic Control Box is mounted straight above the Exhaust and this is not the first vessel to have the same problem regardless of the sea condition.

Oh, you heard about that call. Yes, it was all very dramatic. Actually, it was on the morning news when I turned on my computer. You must have been listening to Howard Stern instead. (I think I just took a left turn with this thread. Sorry. )
