No job is fun under pressure and bad weather conditions, i was in freshwater and can't remember if i used 6013 or 7018 electrodes, but managed to hummer out the deep gash on the hole shut and weld it at the last moments as one engine was already underwalter the other was half way the engine block it was one of those moment do you bail or keep working and save the boat.

You did well, you save the boat. Like you, I can't remember what rods I was using, and I wasn't quite saving the ship, although it did prevent further damage.
A Marine Engineer will always do his best to save the ship. History records the Titanic went down with all lights on and all pumps going, not one engineer got out. to this day, by royal decree, all British commonwealth marine engineers wear royal purple alongside their gold bars on their rank insignia.
