Nigel and I were aboard the Mi Amigo on the last ever tender trip the day before she sank. The weather wasn't good going out and horrendous coming back. We had a lot of trouble, as Nigel has clearly described in his book Ships in Troubled Waters. At one point he fell over the side less than half way home and it was only by sheer luck he was plucked out before he drifted away. A moment I'll never forget.
If that wasn't bad enough little did we realise what would transpire the next day. . . . . .
