From his posts, they are near Flushing, with steering problem on one engine, and fuel problem on the other engine.

I read that but did get much from it though, the Flushing part I missed, must be far from Sweden by now then. (if they were close to Gothenburg I might have been able to help)

Have just spoken to Col. They ran out of fuel! It would seem that fuel tanks were not as big as claimed. All safe having a good nosh. They may well come back tomorrow by ferry as weather is not looking good.

Cheers David, thanks for the update.
What about the reported steering problem, do you know anything about that?
Cheers
