Odd night in that our preferred conditions 6-8 kn did not happen until the last leg, an upwind finish off Ft McH. Beautiful night though. We've noticed this bulk ore carrier a couple times this season. I'd love to know how those two structures work above the deck. Apparently they are on a track, as when we were coming in one sounds some signals, warnings I guess like a Fedex truck does when in reverse, and it started rolling very slowly aft.
And someone suggested a brief meeting at the marina (on sailing business unrelated to BCYA)as it was convenient and on their travel route. If you like screaming at someone 18 inches away and still not being heard or understood, then sure, a meeting at MarineMax makes a lot of sense.
Helicopters are not quiet.
