Can't We All Just Get Along?
I give this book five stars because it is by far the best treatise to date regarding the avoidance of huge ships. BUT C'MON, PEOPLE! Did you learn nothing in the sixties? Avoiding huge ships won't solve the problem. Separate but equal waterways only drives us further apart. It is the lack of understanding between the huge and non-huge vessel communities that lead to well-intentioned but misguided tomes such as this. We must begin a dialogue with our huge brethren. Remember--we are all floating on the same ocean. I have a dream... that one day ALL vessels will be judged not by their tonnage, but by the content of their cargo. Next time a huge vessel approaches, just ask yourself "WWPD?" (What would Popeye do?)
