I can't imagine what's it's like having it bear down on you.<BR/><BR/>Sarah, the small fishing trawler did not show up on radar, and the lookout failed to see it. I was recently on a small river cruise ship that almost ran over a sailboat. Collisions on the water may be slow in developing, but hard to avoid once they're underway. Scary.<BR/><BR/>Charles, shortly after we took the pictures, we dropped anchor for a swim.<BR/><BR/>Bernita, there's something especially timeless about ship names.<BR/><BR/>Aine, that was certainly an eventful morning! I'll never forget realizing after moments out on the river that we were lost in the fog. Praise be to depth finders so we could hug the shore!<BR/><BR/>Vesper, thanks for the kind words about the pictures. The interplay between the water and the clouds always mesmerizes me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-89378778238679690572008-08-25T12:04:00.000-04:002008-08-25T12:04:00.000-04:00I love ships and sea stories.

I can only imagine how terrifying it would be to see that prow emerging from the mist. I remember how my heart stopped when the fog lifted that morning we were on the Delaware, years ago... :)Ainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402176500997528105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-33814799524531752032008-08-25T10:56:00.000-04:002008-08-25T10:56:00.000-04:00Leviantans of the Lakes.I really like ship names.Leviantans of the Lakes.<BR/>I really like ship names.Bernitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264585685253812090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-47423039863315405122008-08-25T10:33:00.000-04:002008-08-25T10:33:00.000-04:00That would be an experience to live through.

Such an inequality in size and speed--felt like I was watching two unmatched animals from a nature show, and wincing for the impact. I'm relieved the skipper escaped. <BR/><BR/>Beautiful photos, Jason. Well worth the chase. :)Sarah Hinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888406261817690010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-10815720405762728842008-08-25T06:21:00.000-04:002008-08-25T06:21:00.000-04:00Great shots and a wonderful narration to go!Glad s...Great shots and a wonderful narration to go!Glad she escaped unscathed.Sameera Ansarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05249126041067834608noreply@blogger.com
