Ok. Fantastic. An excellent account of the movement of the ship. ( A stark contrast to the melodramatic mish mosh presented to us by the major media. ) However I must note that the invocation of a “current” moving the ship shoreward seemed a little nebulous, as it acted in concert with the activation of the bow thrusters, which caused the rotation of the ship, according to the video. Well, if there was a shoreward drift, that was fortunate, but the ship did maneuver with its bow thrusters, and I wonder who was directing this action. If it was the captain, it seems out of character with the apparent inattention he had ro the ship’s operation around this time, but if it was not the captain, who was it?
That was one great video. Thank you
