Makes worrying about icebergs seem kind of trivial... :-) I should have clarified my original post - I'm surprised these ships don't hit each other more often!

JimVrhovac Posted October 1, 2009 #11 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Mother nature has a way of doing things her way. No matter how big or how powerfull these chips are mother nature pushes them around like toys.... Just glad no one was hurt, except for the pride and career of the pilot Ruth & Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhannah Posted October 1, 2009 #13 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Clearances along some port lanes I've been in is marginal. Almost any wind past a gentle breeze could push one ship into another (or the dock.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
