Algoisle has arrived at Aliaga. it is now 2330 in Aliaga sometime in the afternoon the tug Ionion Pelagos delivered the Algoisle, the tug Ionion Pelagos is now steaming west from Aliaga at 11.2 knots.

The tug Ionion Pelagos with the Algoisle in tow is crossing the Gulf Of Pentalion about to enter the Ageran Sea and has 131.0 n miles to go befor reaching Aliaga.

By my calculations, Algoisle and the tug Ionion Pelagos are 936.0 n miles east of Ceuta Spain, and 145.0 n miles due north of Tripoli, this an estimation only.

The tug Ionion Pelagos refueled at Ceuta, Spain, this is part of Spain that is in North Africa, while the tug Golfo de Bengala babysat the Algoisle in the Mediterranean Sea, after refueling, the Ionion Pelagos has returned to the Algoisle and is steaming to Aliaga, while the Golfo de Bengala, has returned to Ceuta, Spain.

Presently they are in the Cabot Strait 45 N M South of Port aux Basque, speed is 5.6 N M P H.

They are still in the Gulf of St.Lawrence, not yet into Cabot Strait-they seem to be slowing up. Maybe just the wind. [2200 hrs ADT October 9 = 0200 GMT October 10]
