It got me at first, quickly enough to get me to write an email to a friend who lives only a mile up the beach from there.

Why do you think New York's "Ambrose" lightship is now a small pole stuck into the mud? Too many ships set their autopilots to those coordinates, and kept bashing into the lightship.

Re: Situational awareness fubar

cute....

we did have a mega crash into a rocky outcropping that jumped out in front of them, and a sailboat cruising had experienced an island attack, so be on lookout for wandering rocks and islands.....
