    You have made a very good point Ian.  

    As we all know - Oceans are vast places covering thousands and thousands of square miles.  To have a warship within only 500 miles of a boat in trouble is lucky to say the least. smile

    Reminds me of the Breton fisherman's prayer "Your ocean is so big and my boat is so small. Have mercy"
