As a newbie boat operator, I have enormous sympathy for the captain. Hard for those that never herded a boat to understand how the darn things want to keep going, especially if a wind is helping things along.
The inertia of that ship had to be enormous, and with a wind messing with him................
True. I’m sure not going to judge him (I probably know the pilot).
Occasionally but usually in September a ship will just pass on by due to high winds.
