Re: Biggest Apache I've ever seen!

Nort -

I thought the same thing. According to someone on another site:

...Voyager lost power to one prop during a storm in the Mediterranean on Feb 14, 2005. Some of the rolls to starboard look to be more than 30 degrees, quite a mess on a passenger ship. Later, several passengers praised the crew for their professionalism; everyone knew the ship was in serious trouble, but they felt the crew were handling the problems and the passengers were kept well informed....
