CAMBRIDGE Imagine if you will, 3 ships tied together and anchored miles from a foreign coast. The sun is slowly setting as crowds of weary sailors gather upon the main decks. Gradually an air of anticipation falls upon the crowd. A joyful noise breaks through the eerie North Arabian Sea silence as Cambridge takes the stage on COCHRANES 0-1 level aft.
