: Let's see, this makes about our tenth major grounding in as many
: years, and our third this year alone. I have finally discovered
: the problem- it seems that the islands are made of magnetic
: rock. Every boat that has grounded was made of ferrous metals.
: Not one single wooden boat has grounded. I rest my case.

Hi Malcolm,
Is that the same place as the last time? The catamaran grounding? :)

Though I wonder if chart work is taught to navigators anymore.

Maybe if ye move the islands off to one side, the ships wouldn't crash into them?
