Now let me study this more closely, and thanks Kristy and LJS and everyone else for birthday greetings. And i will not report the drinking on duty thit time? It was only one rum. Now i have re set the course at 33 miles south by .120 degrees point 8 east south east should bring us 14 miles north of Sydney harbour, Would you agree with that Patrick? And does it tally with your notes Patrick!?. Patrick replied, yes sir, it does one hundred percent up to only one kilometre short of what i make it

Wolfie then says, i think it should be okay now, i will take over from you when your shift ends, I am just going to see how Jim is feeling, and get someone to stand in for him, Sam says I will do that for you if you want me too captain, wolfie says, Okay Sam, you've got it. First i will take Mike and check over the engines, to find out the problem? My guess is that we are out of diesel. If thats the case, the whole system will need to be bled, and what a bleediin' job that is .

Wolfie and Mike put on their boiler suits, and get their toolboxes and Mike fetches his electronic testing gear and laptop from his cabin, and heads to the engine room, calling into sick bay to see how Jim is getting along, Jim asked, Capn, when can i go back to my duties?. no not yet, till Doc martin says that you are well enough, Anyway at the moment the engine room is out of bounds untill Mike and myself have carried out a few tests and find the problem and fixed it..

This looks in a sorry state said mike, I think this is going to take a while to sort out so it will be best if we rely on the sails until we get to Sydney, ok your the expert, mike, I will go and inform Patrick and LJS replied wolfie and rushed off to the wheelhouse to inform them, no problem lad replied LJS this is how a ship should be sailed and started muttering on about the good old days, sorry LJ no time to chat, I have to get back to mike said wolfie and left the wheelhouse. On the way down to the engine room he bumped into kristy, are you alright love she asked. Mike and I are working in the engine room trying to sort out the problem, it's a mess wolfie replied shaking his head. Kristy put her arm around him and kissed him, I'm sure you and mike will sort it she replied then added I will bring you down some tea in a moment and a few sarnies, I can't have my man wasting away she grinned.

Kristy made some sarnies and a couple of mugs of tea and headed to the engine room. Tea break she shouted as she entered the room, your a life saver said mike and rushed over to her and took the tray from her hands. I hope you 2 are not going to be working all night kristy said. I hope not said wolfie but it's a big job, well it will still be here in the morning kristy replied, wolfie shook his head. I have arranged a special dinner for tonight to celebrate your birthday darling so I expect the guest of honour to be there, I won't take no for a answer said kristy. But but said wolfie, no good arguing with her said mike and laughed, then said, we will finish up in about a hour which will give us time to have a wash and brush up before dinner, will that be ok kristy. Thank you mike, I know wolfie would stay down here all night until the job was done, isn't that true, husband dear said kristy. Wolfie nodded, you win, I will see you in a hour and you can have a nice hot bath waiting for me said wolfie and winked at her.

Jim says but i can do other jobs, i can water and look after the plants! And i can easily go to the wheelhouse and steer the ship, wolfie replies, Yes i know that you can, but you have been ordered to take a few days off to recuperate, so make the most of it, in this job, days off are few and far between, i wish to hell they would give me a few days off!. Whereabouts are we captain?. Wolfie replies, we are a few miles out from Sydney where we will be re fueled and take on supplies overnight..
