Yes I do. That was because of a burned out number 2 spring bearing we were being towed while the we replaced it and had to stop dead in the water every thirty or so minutes to take blue hits while we fitted the new bearing in place. I believe it was during the '81 Med cruise when we took the long way back to Mayport via the Artic Circle.
