Considerable maritime experience

[Hydraulicjump]

Many of us followed the drama of the barge that broke loose in Elliott Bay in Seattle (especially those of us with a boat in a marina there). It nearly crunched the Seattle waterfront. A captain of a water taxi saved the day in remarkable fashion. His funny quote in the Seattle Times is fantastic:

“I use my considerable maritime skills to keep me from situations requiring my considerable maritime skills.”

Amen. Enjoy. And get out there on your boat.

Great story and quote. Sometimes people ask whether I have ever been in a scary situation at sea. My answer is that I put a lot of thought and effort into not getting into scary situations at sea.
