To grandmother's house we go.

Mishap Monday. What Happens When Ships Collide?

Let's just say that it's not a good thing.

The MSC Chitra played bumper cars with the MV-Khalijia-II on Saturday. The Chitra was still listing in the Arabian Sea close to Mumbai Monday.

Wednesday Wipeout. Got A Whale Of A Tale To Tell Ya, Lads.

Uh-oh, this can't be good.
It's not photoshopped, gang.
From ABC: "Talk about a close call. A whale leapt out of the water and crash-landed on the deck of a boat off the coast of South Africa July 21, 2010. Sailing near Robben Island off the coast of Cape Town, Paloma Werner, 50, of the Cape Town Sailing Academy, and her partner Ralph Mothes watched the whale move toward their 10-meter vessel and breached 20 meters away. The whale disappeared under the water, before reappearing in the air. "Then I just saw this huge whale crash onto our yacht," Werner said. Fortunately, no one was injured, though the boat suffered damage. (Paloma Werner)"

A tourist on a boat nearby caught the moment when the whale breached the water next to the sailboat.

Harpoon Hannah was no where to be seen.

Ouch!

So long guys, and thanks for all the fish!

Hat tip to Rotorhead.

Wednesday Wipeout. Zwitserleven Dutch Open at Texel.

Dive, dive, dive!
Texel/Netherlands, June 16 2010
"The Zwitserleven Dutch Open Catamaran sailing 2010 had a rough start on Wednesday 16 June. The northeasterly wind increased to over 20 knots with high waves off the Texel beach. As a result, many sailors spent a lot of time swimming instead of sailing."

It's a hot day and I want to cool off.
"That F18 cat sailing is a different game from helming a bizzare 90ft trimaran, as James Spithill (AUS) experienced today. The helmsman of BMW Oracle lost his balance while wiring on the run and he took a flyer."
