Skipper, I think we are Grounded!8 Jul 2008
While searching the local news, I came across the recent mishap of the “Spirit of Glacier Bay” running aground near Glacier Bay National Park in southeast Alaska (Monday, July 7, 2008) . Interesting to note, Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Eric Eggen comments regarding this high and dry vessel, “unclear whether the grounding was caused by human error, or was due to a mechanical or electronic malfunction.” Gee, did someone forget to turn off the auto pilot? In the end, we all hope it wasn’t human error, after all it was the computer’s fault, right? Too often these events are caused by too much firewater in the tank, if you know what I mean.
