    Admiralty law, where libel has nothing to do with defamation.
    In all seriousness, expect to see journalists read this book, which read years ago and highly recommend any piece or book by Langweische. Some Lloyd’s syndicates are getting hit.

    Movement. Stern is now mid-channel. King tide is right now. Encouraging news. End of the video catches up with real time.

    Well, he had it made. A clear shot to the Bitter Lakes, but he slowed the ship down and lost steerage, slamming into the bank.

    Classic CMW.

    The first mate and bosun are both working for Maersk now and the navigator is rumored to be updating his Linkedin profile

    I just saw on the news that the canal is no larger that Lake Eola in Orlando. For those familiar with that lake like I am, how in the hell do they have a ship that big loaded up like that in that small body of water? Oh yeah, profits and delivery deadlines. Go figure.

    I've had boats for years in FL and know from personal experience that bodies of water can be unforgiving every now and then. (duh)

    I knew that explosion in Java would free the ship.
