It was interesting to listen to that on the radio.

I've been on that tour boat and I'll admit, when I was on it last
summer, the operator made me nervous traveling in the shipping lane -
he split two 1000' container ships, one in bound, one out bound and
came within 100 feet of the bow of one of them.
