Hemi Dart,
Watch out! I just found that one of these links to the tug boat is infected by the Trogan 'Trojan.ByteVerify'. It got into my system and a friend of mine's also.

I don't know about the link from Yachtmaster though.

I wonder if the crew gort a bous for saving the ship? You have to admint that shows experience by the captain. Knew when to put power back on made her through.

I bet they all got drunk afterwards.
