    wow a name from the past, Schaefers ~ many transits of the C&D canal years back with always a FAST running current :eek:
    always impressed with the flag etiquette provided to vessels transiting the canal, but no longer done with new ownership :(prayers offered for those involved (Amen)

    I found some different videos on this event. Looks like out-bound current was really ripping.
    Not sure if this affected the grounding. One video shows her flooded outside the red.

    Interesting video.
    Not to diminish the nature of these great creatures or to degrade Judy's nice post, but kind of reminds me of my second wife;
    Her and her family had many tentacles to rob me of my money and life, their combined brains were always plotting.
    If you remember the Star Trek show, the Salk Sucker, these blood & bank suckers put that creature to shame.
    They could not beat themselves out of a wet paper bag but all of those brains worked together to near kill me.

    Oh, big differences; This clan had no heart between the lot of them.
