I'm having a hard time understanding why the damage appears to be on the port side- I would have expected either the whole bow or the underside of the bow....unless she was keeling over in a very tight turn when she hit whatever she hit; and that doesn't make any sense either because a turn that would keel her over that direction would be toward the object she collided with, instead of away from it. Am I correct in assuming that the sail would point toward the inside of the turn? Pat |

Maybe they ran into a Russian boat that was performing a "Crazy Ivan"
and the running aground is a cover story? Pat Flannery wrote: Derek Lyons wrote: They are *damn* lucky they came home. *Dammed* lucky.

God/Yahweh/TrueAllah/Buddah/Roddenberry/Asimov and I are on a first-name basis. In fact, I called him this evening, and he asked me to pass on a message to you. He wants you to do the following: 1) Shut the **** up. You do *not* speak for him in any one of his many forms. Not even when he dresses up at Cthulu to scare the **** out of college frat punks holding bogus sacrificial rites as part of their drunken frosh initiation hazings. 2) Seek professional psychiatric help. Now. Not next week, but immediately after you read this. You're obviously deranged, and some event in your past - probably child molestation, but it could just be something as simple as eating too many boxes of Super Sugar Crisp or Honey Comb for breakfast in one sitting - has caused you to go whacko. 3) Don't post here again, because not only do *we* not want to read your bull****, God/Yahweh/TrueAllah/Buddah/Roddenberry/Asimov also reads usenet, and if He/They don't want to read your crap, then it's in your best interests not to post here or anywhere else. Otherwise, be prepared to become a condom for Satan when you meet your final end... ------------ Andre -- " I'm a man... But, I can change... If I have to... I guess. " The Man Prayer, Red Green. |

While the Skipper has been temporarily reasssigned during the investigation to shore duty, it looks more positive for his career aspects than previous talk would have given. OM Hi OM, Can you tell me what your reference is for this confirmation? I have 3rd hand knowledge to the contrary and I'd like to set them straight. Thanks! -stmx3 |
