For those who have never seen it.

looks like the dividing line on the dropoff to the continental shelf of the US. I've seen that and the sharp difference between the chesapeake bay and the deep ocean is remarkable ...

USS Oklahoma was under 28,000 tons.

The Costa Concordia is about 4 times that.

The Concordia had water in it's hull and most of the weight was underwater as it was uprighted, still a challenge though.

Not a ship....But Sarah has rowed from Japan to Adak, Alaska. That over 4000 miles. I hear she's due back next year to continue via kayak.

Glad to learn she's safe.

It's also nice to see she's flying the proper courtesy flag and the "Q" flag.

I bet she's not smiling right now. She's got some serious weather coming.

You'd think that there would be no visible stack emissions.

Judging by the waterline, she may not have a cargo. Is she a light ship?

​

Those damn things always make me nervous when I happen upon them. I know it's irrational, but there you have it.

On our cruise last year, I snapped this image of our vessel's hull. As you can see, it's a wing keel. When they first
appeared, while the theory made perfect sense, I had doubts about their safety and stability.


I was wrong. They're great for going fast. One thing you don't want to do though is get 'em stuck in the mud.
They're a pain in the ass to get off a mudbank or a shoal. Of course, if you insist on going aground on coral or
rocks, you're probably better off with a steel hull and a full keel— then again, it might not make that much difference.​

There are two types of sailors, those that have been aground and those that will go aground.

There's some truth to that idea.

You caught me by surprise with that construction. I've always heard (and used) it with reference to seasickness, to wit:

There are two kinds of sailors. Those who have been and those who will be.

Been aground twice, only sick once.
