You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Labatt-

How did you conclude that both ships were owned by the same company. I don't believe that is the case. The second photo, which shows Wan Hai, the Wan Hai is on a container that is snagged on the second ship's anchor by the looks of it, not on the second ship itself.

Someone should have stuck their foot out and stopped that boat. (smile). And what was that tug doing way back out of the way??? He should have hopped in there and tried to let them bounce off of him with 'those bumper looking thingys' (Captain Ron).

If Sailaway would quit spending his time focused on Sailnet and start looking where he was going, these things would not happen.

HAHA!
