[throwing his sou'wester down]
God DAMNIT how can this happen?! 12 boats we have on the Atlantic! From Greenland to the Azores, a mere dozen! But still we, we almost collide with one of our own! Somethings wrong here...(turning to navigator) Checked on our position?
Navigator Kriechbaum ...more or less Capt-
More or less?! More or less?! Thats not GOOD ENOUGH!
Navigator Kriechbaum Not one sunspot in two weeks. Difficult to calculate.
Yeah yeah..We make a few errors in our own position - the others do the same, and we end up playing collision games! Leaving the route wide open! [to Werner] I hope you're taking notes. Maybe clue HQ into what's happening.
Surely you have better connections than me.
You think so, huh?
[throwing his sou'wester down]
God DAMNIT how can this happen?! Only twelve boats in the Atlantic! From Greenland to the Azores, a lousy dozen! And here we are, almost ramming into each other! Something's wrong here...(turning to navigator) Our position's correct?
Navigator Kriechbaum ...more or less, Captain.
What's that supposed to mean?!
Navigator Kriechbaum Not one sun shot in two weeks, and we drifted in this storm. Difficult to calculate.
That's just great. All of us "more or less" in position and it'll happen - two boats in one place and gaping holes in the route! The British can slide a whole fleet through. Here, in the middle of the sea, it's always another story. [to Werner] I hope you're taking notes. Maybe you can clue headquarters in.
Surely you have better connections than me.
You think so, huh?
