Cruise Ship Runs Aground in Atlantic ICW - Obstruction Blocks Traffic

I also vaguely remember reading that the bow waves were crashing over a seawall somewhere on the St. Marys River voyages. That was my trawler wake when we were locked in on an unsuspecting LTP. Poor buggers never had a chance. |

Still, I've tracked their wakes for easily more than a mile. Wakes from large ship traffic in the mid-Bay has not been a problem for me. In fact, most of the ships I see are leaving fairly flat wakes. Even when fishing on the edges of the ship channel, it usually isn't a significant problem, in my experience. The large container ships I have seen leave a nice rolling wake. While it was not a problem (we took them at 35-45 degrees) I have never seen a trawler (or even a floating RV) leaving a wake as large. I am trying to figure out what kind of boat, a rec.boater would have that is leaving a wake larger than a container ship. Gee, how many large container ships do you encounter on Lake Lanier? None on Lake Lanier, as I have said before, I have gone boating from the Great Lakes to Key West. Hmmm. A while back you said you regularly boat along the east coast, including the Atlantic. So which is it Jim Gallow, errr.........Reggie? And how is that different than what I just said? Welcome back Jim Gallow..................although you really never left. ;-) I think you have crossed the line once you start calling me names, but I really can't figure out what your point is. The point is that your name is Jim Gallow. oh, OK |

Maybe 10-15 years ago, one of those sub bow waves capsized a commercial fishing boat near the Kings Bay sub base in Georgia, and my memory on the event is vague, but I think there were drowning deaths. The sub captain, an arrogant ass, said something like "deal with it." He's driving a bait boat now. I doubt that. The subs that use to base at Mare Island always had CG escorts. And the bow wave exceeds anything else that I have ever witnessed as to wakes. And I fish near a couple of the offshore channels to SF bay. Subs are always escorted out of near harbor areas and an exclusion zone for other boat traffic is strictly enforced. Part of the sub wave/wake problem out of New London is very narrow entrance to LIS through The Race. There's not a lot of room there and if you are in the right spot before the subs reach the sub bouy to get down and get gone, you are going to be affected by the bow wave/wake. |

I swear, it's about the only time I've ever been surprized by the size and depth of a wake - had just about enough time to quarter the three waves or I would have taken a ton of water aboard the Ranger. Talk about a wake. :) Maybe 10-15 years ago, one of those sub bow waves capsized a commercial fishing boat near the Kings Bay sub base in Georgia, and my memory on the event is vague, but I think there were drowning deaths.

It was covered on the TV news in Jax, and there were a couple of articles in the area newspapers. I doubt he is driving a date barge. |

It's not uncommon to see them coming and going near the eastern end of Long Island Sound without an escort. There's an exclusion zone near Fishers Island which I presume is where they are suposed to surface. They are a strange sight the first time you see one running at speed with just the conning tower visible. The "sub bouy" is located SE of a line from Montauk Light, through SW Ledge to Lewis Pt at Block Island. That's where they submerge or surface for the run into New London. Under the new rules, the CG now clears out the area prior to surfacing and they provide an exclusion zone by escort from Gull Island Shoal on a line to Race Rock. I think it's 500 yards - 1/3 of a mile. You hear draggers and commercial operators in the area contacted by subs all the time - how they do it, I'm not at all sure, but you hear them call on 16 and move off to another channel. There they establish direction of travel, speeds and what not. I don't think I've ever heard them not be very accomodating to the commercial guys. One of the reasons they wanted to down size the sub base at New London was the Race choke point. |

Harry, Do you read what SWS said to Charile and BAR when they were accusing you of not owning a lobster boat? It is just as boring and stupid when you do the same thing. Sorry, Reggie, but I don't pay much attention to the crap posted here by the likes of BAR and Charile. In fact, I don't even recall a Charile. Perhaps you like reading the posts of idiots on a regular basis, but I do not. There's no reason to believe you have a boat. And there is less to believe you have a lobster boat. Will you ever give up? |
