GULF OF MEXICO SCENES - PAGE 6
Front approaching us on December 21, 2008. Winds went from 11 kts to 47 kts and seas went from 1 to 3 to 7 to 10 ft in a little over an hour.
As this front approached we lost our steering. We were able to get the rudders amidships but had to steer with engines. We turned back to Port Fourchon where we had an assist in and made repairs.
Towing as the front came on
