By the way did you pipe 'ditching gash over the aft bow' for safety reasons?
A little confusing at first with me not having spent years or months at sea but google helped out in the end.
Had there been anyone around I think I'd have wanted to keep it as low key as possible, so probably wouldn't have piped anything. More than likely I'd have put even more effort into trying to escape the feeding frenzy, while remaining as silent as possible.
