I've had to carry out similar rather hairy entrances in the past, but nothing like this.
What seamanship!

Terrific control, in horrendous circumstances!

Desdemona, an unlucky ship that ran aground off Mar de Ajo in 1983 and later off Rio Grande, Tierra de Fuego.
In 1985 she suffered engine failure after departing Comodoro Rivadavia and the captain beached her at Cape San Pablo, Tierra del Fuego, so that she would wreck on the rocky coast.
She has been there ever since.

Magnificent, indeed! Is it really being towed by that tiny tugboat?

What an incredibly lonely time that must have been!

You can never be lonely with the sea. I know I wasn't.

I have great admiration for people who can handle being on a submarine. I’ve only been on a 2- hour tourist submarine dive to see tropical fish, and I couldn’t shake the claustrophobic feeling. Being in a real, functioning submarine for weeks? Eek!

I had a cousin that served on our nuke subs!!! They were out at sea for months, and until the day he died, would not say one
word about there operations. I do not believe I could have survived, being cooped up in a tin can!!!!
