I really enjoy all the ship driving talk. Like a window into something we all wonder about. Also very handy to have ‘on board’ the threads when we have ship collisions and the like - hey haven’t had any of them in a while!
As big as the ocean is and as small as our ships are relative to said ocean it is amazing how fast things can go from sunshine and lollipops to a double-decker excrement sandwich.
A collision at sea can really ruin your day. Collisions in port aren't much better. We won't even talk about grounding. The only bars sailors avoid are sandbars.
