: Hmm....old rule, when you get lost, shut off the gas :)

: Charging around with rocks about and not knowing where you are is

I kind of have a feeling he's going to get that time ashore, and he will have company with the guy that ran the fast ferry hard aground on July 4th.

So let's review:

Tropical Shipping fully loaded container ship runs into Salt Cay, plowing through the dive moorings and hitting the island which has been charted for about 500 years now.

Fast Ferry hard aground on St. James, and I mean ON St. James, not like on some rocks near it.

Tortola Ferry grounded on Triangle Reef- trying to short-cut inside the channel. They had to cut the boat into pieces to get it off the reef- total loss.

Ferry hit St. James Cay at night, which is not only lit, but the guy actually hit the light. (I believe a moth was driving)

Ferry hits Johnson Reef, which only has about six buoys around it, and the guy has to pass it every day multiple times per day as he goes to and from Tortola.

... the list goes on. Anyone want to come down here and paddle with me? Actually come to think of it, the way things are going you might be safer out there than on shore!!!
