Nebula and crew are due to arrive in Gove at lunch time.

Spoke to my brother when they came into range of Gove. What a mission!.

I'll keep this short;

after snapping both rudders, they fashioned one out of the coffee table. that provided some steerage for a few hours then it desintergrated.
then they tried 2 ore's from the dingy. they snapepd aswell.
then they reshaped the orginal rudders and put them int he rudder boxes up-side-down. this has got them to Gove.
the VHF was working but there were never any other vessals in range.

they are extremely exhausted but in good spirits. If your in Gove, talk to them yourself at the bar. they will be the ones lying on the ground with Rum bottles in the air.
