Adventures on the LPG Lincolnshire
Adventures on Bibby lines LPG Lincolnshire .I think this was before we were told not to come back. We were more of a hazard than the USS Kitty Hawk we are passing, I am sure it was the Kitty Hawk ? We had engine failures , came close to knocking down the Oakland bay Bridge and ran aground on the bank right by the Coast Guard station, that was planned as the railway bridge failed to open due to a train on it at the time. A bit of the left hand not telling the right hand what it was doing. Funny really as there was a house next door with an elderly couple sitting having their breakfast. They were stuck mid chew staring up at the bow which was over hanging the garden. Communication with the Coast Guard was not by radio but by shouting to each other as radio contact could not be achieved.Bibby 35 San Fran.jpgBibby coastguard 2.jpg
