    Thought some of you might find this interesting. A Houston Ship Pilot put together a video of a Houston Ship Channel transit from abt 1000 separate exposures taken 6 seconds apart on a camera. It is pretty cool. The transit starts at the very upper end of the channel and takes you all the way out through the Galveston jetties. You also get to see what the Houston Pilots mean by Texas Chicken.
