Wonderful. Crabbers have not been able to fish for 2 years thanks to low crab populations and now this.
Just what the fleet and town needs.

If it burns to the waterline, all the sunshine will leak out of the hull.

Gilligan didn’t choose to go on a trip past three hours and look what what happened.
You sign on a tour of duty with a ship, and ride it through. Tough sh!t. Choices have consequences.

WOW! That’s two in two days. Oh....... Well the “two” is right keeping it offshore. Alaska could go up in flames if it got too close. 😳

Lithium ion batteries, especially on the scale used in EVs, are too dangerous. Some other high energy density battery technology that isn’t so volatile needs to replace them.
