Cast off fore & aft, let go the springs. Bow and stern thrusters engaged --- full ahead both. (Is that Sir William water skiing back there ??)  |
Tom, if you let go the springs, it just means we will have to wind them up again before we can get to speed. Also, if we engage bow and stern thrusters and give them the beans, won't we just go round and round very fast?
