1:16:04
Ride 'em, cowboy!
1:16:35
We're pretty far out, aren't we?
1:16:37
Yes, yes, we were.
1:16:39
But, uh, we were making
too big a circle.

1:16:42
That ship straightened me out.
The ship was northbound.

1:16:46
So I just corrected the course,
and we're all right now.

1:16:49
The captain of a southbound tanker...
1:16:51
reported having sighted
a small boat...

1:16:54
shortly after noon on Thursday.
1:16:56
He said it was headed
for the open sea.

1:16:59
You all right?
Why don't you zip up your jacket.

1:17:01
It's gettin' a little chilly.
1:17:05
Well, we're really gonna have something
to tell 'em tonight, aren't we?

1:17:10
After that, silence.
1:17:18
You know, I'll tell you why
I know that we're all right, son.

1:17:22
You see, when you get caught
in the fog, circling is S.O.P.

1:17:26
That means "standard operating procedure."
1:17:29
And the reason
we were too far out is that...

1:17:31
I'm just sort of rusty
on gauging wind velocity.

1:17:35
I figured it'd be about 10 knots,
but it's more than that.

1:17:38
It's, you know, 12 knots, 13, 15, six—
1:17:42
oh, maybe 17 knots, you know.
1:17:45
So that was the— the difference.
1:17:48
And I don't mind telling you, if that tanker
hadn't shown up, we'd really been in the soup.

1:17:52
But the tanker, you see, it headed north.
1:17:54
Then that— It sort of was
like a compass to me.

1:17:58
You see? So, all I did
when I got a check on north...
