Reina - LOG 7 PASS THE CHARDONNAY, PLEASE



“Chardonnay, Chardonnay, Chardonnay.” It is Harry Spedding trough the VHF. He is not really thirsty and also not ordering the drinks for another party aboard Reina. Our watch leader goes on with: “Here Reina, Reina, Reina. We are heading east. Please round our stern?”


However we do not get a response we can understand that we are aware of the fact that they know we have the right to stay on our course. A few moments later we see the 235 meter long carrier with the name Chardonnay make a slight turn to port. That’s the way to pass the Chardonnay. Is not it?

A few hours later our captain gets a message from another vessel. “Please stay away from us. We do have engine problems and we are drifting over the ocean without control over the steering.” Jarrod leads us with a big curve out of the danger from the more than 200 meter carrier.

What a day at the ocean! It makes that the watches have to tell each other a lot. Always good to have a bit of excitement. Just waiting for more adventure!
