You unearthed a gem Sir.


My fave so far.

This book really is one of the best huge ship avoidance references I've come across, not just for the effective methods it teaches as to avoiding huge ships, but also for exploding some of the huge ship avoidance myths that many of us take for granted. 

*do not roll your boat over and play dead. Unless the huge ship is captained by a grizzly bear, this will not work.

Awesome. I also recommend checking out, "The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America".

  Inspired by Banksy perhaps?

This gem should not be overlooked either.

Amazing reviews, too-like this one:
"By T. OBrien - November 15, 2009
I find it sort of disappointing that Amazon doesn't have a "Look Inside" feature for this book's listing "

Having spent 24 years working on ships between 600 and 1000 feet long this book is not so stupid.

Not sure why so many small boats, kayaks, sailboats like to play chicken with 40.000 tons of steel.

One time going under Verizzano bridge into NY harbor witnessed a two man sailboat run right into the side of the ship while we were doing less then 5 knots.

First the USCG helicopter came out to rescue them then we waited for two hours at anchor while they investigated how a two man sailboat ran into the side of an 800 foot long ship. 

Awesome. I also recommend checking out, "The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America".
LMAO

Because when I have the right of way......they need to avoid hitting me 

That's some funny sh*t.

It's not so hard, hug the bank.

Really really funny stuff!! Thanks for pointing it out! I should sleep better tonight now knowing that my house in Fair Oaks
is safe from most big ships!.
