I had to delete yesterdays post, essentially it went like: fog in morning, sun in afternoon.
Northern Ranger in in one piece, some tourists on board [about8], quite a few towns folk down to dock for the 'first boat' but it lacked any excitement [maybe it's me].
Had the below message as a comment, the author desires to remain anonymous so I had to do it this way to grant their wish. It is the continuing story of the fate of the Astron.
The Astron is in Cartwright waiting for an assessment.
5 crew quit yesterday and left for home on the Bond today. This due to the shitty way Woodwards treated them. When they abandoned ship they had no footware and Woodwards wouldnt cover the bill for them to get some "cheap" sneakers to wear while they were here. They literally had bags on their feet, and some locals gave them some old shoes. On top of that they wanted some time to go be with their families and Woodwards said no you must keep working.Here are some other tidbits for you.....The Astron's engines quit not long out of Lewisporte as well, and get this.....enroute the anchor deployed by itself under steam!!!! No wonder those guys quit!

I am curious as to why you had to delete that post. Nothing wrong with it. And it really isn't gone. I can still read it on my Google Newsreader.
No big deal, I was trying to hide the ID of one of the commenters as he requested, alas you blew that out of the water :-]
I posted the comment without realizing his name would still show up.
....Ahoy! Come see the North Coast! Pay thousands, get whiplash, float adrift in the Labrador Sea! Perhaps this could be marketed to the hearty tourists who are fans of that "Survivior" TV series.........
