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...

1:18:01
then I just made a 90-point correction
to the starboard...

1:18:05
and now we're headed
right due east.

1:18:07
And if they haven't moved the continent
or anything since we took off...

1:18:11
well, then there's no question
about us runnin' right into it.

1:18:14
Now, look, I'm not— I'm not sayin'...
1:18:16
I'm gonna run you right up into that
Yacht Club pier or anything like that.

1:18:21
I'm no miracle worker, but you—
1:18:23
Dad!
1:18:36
Oh, boy!
