Women only make on average 75% the wages that men earn. That's because men do crazy sh#t like this for a living.

That operation must be phenomenally hairy. It does not sound like much but those ships moving at a mere 3 knots represent truly gargantuan force. You tie your little lines to it, forget you. It doesn’t care.

Is a primary cause known for the listing of the ship?

Another great story of a similar rescue:

Incredible effort. And from the sounds of it, successful in the end. Has anyone heard word from Bilboa? Did it make it to port?

I'm sure this rescue cost a fortune, but I'm just as sure the indemnifiers would rather shell out for a salvage than a replacement.

Those are some REAL MEN...of which only a handful are left in Europe, apparently. The rest seem to be immigration-loving Metrosexuals.

If that were true, companies would hire more women just to save money.

Dang! Heeled over at 50 degrees, to look at you’d think there’s no way it should even be afloat!
