Chuck, what's wrong with this picture?

Staying put can be a dicey situation. Say you're in a following sea and
it's foggy and you're in shipping lanes that feature mega ton vessels
that take miles to slow down and that engine craps out 'cause you nearly
pitchpoled on a wave. It won't start and you're hearing bridge-to-
bridge communications on channel 14 that confirms your radar display's
suggestion that a tanker is bearing down on your position.

Is that likely to happen in the ICW?

So, you're admitting that different choices in power plant may be
appropriate in different circumstances? Be that as it may, there's a
ton of folks in your single screw camp up thisaway. I'm not among 'em.

BTW just for perspective, those tankers & other big ships
rely on single engine power.

I'd feel a lot safer if I were in one of those rather than something
that looks big at the dock and feels like a cork once it's in deep
water...
