Indeed. Fair winds my friend.

Your view is similar to mine BUT this cannot be done, you know the pesky old 1st amendment. As I mentioned in my earlier post, you would have to rely on media restraining itself which as long as "if...

Yes. Thank you. But the media, with it's "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality will never agree.

What? I don't like the way these tend to happen in clusters....the copycat effect.

What the Hell does race have to do with it?

Hee hee. Thanks for the laugh. Now I have to clean the iced tea off my monitor.

I'm sure I will get flamed for this. I wish media would show some restraint when these tragedies happen. Report it yes. Hours of continuous coverage? No. If someone considering killing themselves...

Just a bump. Hope you can come enjoy my girl!

Bumping up as the day is approaching quickly! If anyone is interested, I can give a private tour on Saturday. BTW, this is a very safe area of Baltimore.

She is actually in better shape than when she was a museum ship at Patriots Point. Breaking her up is the last thing we want to see happen! They have begun decommissioning the reactor with the...

I have posted about her before. I may be a bit biased but I believe she is one of the most beautiful merchant ships ever built. I'm honored to have access to her!

If you are within driving distance, NS Savannah and John W. Brown will be open to the public as well as many exhibitors on the pier. As to the Savannah, this will be your last chance to see the...

Happy Birthday Dear Lady. Sorry I did not see this thread earlier.

I hope your solar circumnavigation has been, and continues to be, a pleasant one. Thank you for all you do here.

This was a satire piece. Are you presenting it as fact?

They need to get their asses back to Seattle and loose the McDonnell Douglas way of doing business.

OHV Briggs? Head gasket. Common problem.

Who said anything like that?

Living as close to murdertown Baltimore as I do I see it every day....it is just that simple.

In a related matter, calling a 17-19 year old gang member killed defending drug turf a "child" is not right. And this is where a good portion of these "child" gun deaths come from.

She's still pretty cool and I can't believe I get to play with her! I'm a docent and president of the NS Savannah Association. My wife calls her "the other woman":d

Well, no. Ships this size and in fact Ever Forward herself have navigated this channel for years with no problems. It is regularly maintenance dredged to 50 feet. I often fish the exact spot she...

Yeah, that one surprised even me. Anyway, she picked up the boxes that were off loaded and departed for Norfolk this afternoon. I was aboard NS Savannah at the time and grabbed a couple shots.
...

She's out and has been moved to deeper water off Annapolis supposedly for a hull inspection. I believe they removed 505 containers.

Moved it here to correct the title, figured I might as well leave it here.

The crickets are deafening.

Looks like they are shifting gears, at the meeting I attended a few weeks ago, the Coast Guard indicated lightening the ship would be the last resort. Yesterday they announced plans to start...

It's a shame we couldn't keep one shuttle operational.

Now it's "Ask your prescriber..."

Normally that's correct, maybe 2 feet BUT a strong sustained NW wind like we have had blows the water out of the Bay. We were a good 4 feet below a normal low.

I looked out my window and can see we have a blowout tide, a good 4 feet lower than a normal low tide. They picked a bad day to try.

Bumping this thread. Word has it that Jack is not doing so well. I hope that isn't the case, but I'll be praying for him. Please join me in whatever way you feel appropriate.

Mean water depth in that area is around 19 feet.The channel is dredged to 50 with a steep drop off. Get 35 feet out of the channel and you are in 18-20 feet. That is how, when they did not complete...

Momentum.

I am very familiar with where she is stuck, it is just past a dogleg in the channel. Looks like they didn't complete the required turn to the south. According to a meeting the USCG which I attended,...

Glad to hear it. I have 2 unrepairable rotator cuffs, my doctors say I have to live with it. When I can't stand it anymore shoulder replacement is the only answer.

Unfortunately that sonofabitch Putin is starting to look a little unhinged. I think he would use nukes if he starts losing or feels he might be, repercussions be damned.

Been there done that, I knew what was coming...the wife didn't.
