    WTF was it doing there? Mechanical failure?

    That so reminds me of sailing a 40ft catamaran along the south coast in the middle of the night just after a friend bought it (getting it home). The nutter chose to dismantle the hydraulic steering gear as we sailed through the shipping lanes out of Southampton and 2 ball bearings flew out and got temporarily lost. By the time we could steer again we were miles away. Last time I went sailing with him!
