 nts :headscra: smk Another example on how Stupid can not be fixed. Listen to the Audio the language their speaking sound Familiar. It should  fcp same as the ship that ran aground and the captain jumped ship, a few months ago because of bad judgment. To Bad there are no USA registered ships anymore, 5hrug That would have to answer, to The USA and Coastguard and Abide by the Regulations of the USA Maritime Union.

Wow..  cfzd  great vid Nick.. Bill, I'm pretty sure its sop for those bigger ships to ride storms out at sea..try to jog around it.. although hard to jog around a 900 mile storm..  as a matter of fact they usually have no choice.. correct me if I'm wrong, but as  I understand  when they close the harbors they're  forced to leave..and i think with good reason.. better to knock off a few rafts than a bunch of buildings in lower manhatten..   and I'm willing to bet he had that ship exactly where his employers told him to take it.. looks to me like he was just trying to keep the bow quartering into the seas like he should..    so maybe calling the capt. stupid is a bit harsh.  chrz

actually I thought it was a good job.. As mentioned above, all they can do is hold course and keep the bow into the head seas and not get side swiped.. Kudos for this captain.  Also, he is probably out to sea way before a storm approached and forced to ride it out..
