    "We're coming to port to avoid you." Someone needs to be reassigned.

    Thanks, there is a green marker at the 1:30 mark just off the bow of the destroyer.

    "We're coming to port to avoid you." Someone needs to be reassigned.

    These vessels are subject to Coast Guard rules of navigation. Here is the rule: Rule 9—Narrow Channels (a) ‹‹ (i) ›› A vessel proceeding along the course of a narrow channel or fairway shall keep as near to the outer limit of the channel or fairway which lies on her starboard side as is safe...

    "We're coming to port to avoid you." Someone needs to be reassigned.

    The larger vessel, the USS Harpers Ferry, has encroached the channel as evidenced by the destroyer, USS Momsen, not having access to the red channel marker, as she enters port, which should be directly available on her starboard side. Clearly, the larger ship has violated the rules as she should...

    Low flying fighter jets

    I live one mile from Blacks Bridge and often see F-16's flying around. I have also been lucky enough to train and fly in one. FAA rules stipulate all airplanes in this airspace and below 10,000, fly at a speed of no more that 250 knots, or, roughly 300 MPH. This was reiterated to me by my pilot...

    Something that is hard to understand....

    At the end of the day, SC is a very poor state. Sure, some people make a lot of money, but that is just a few comparatively speaking. It takes money these days to win, and I mean win big time. With Tanner, we are out of gas, and the fans are quitting as well.

    I cruised to Iceland in July (Viking) and just got back from the Nile in January (Viking) and was in Hawaii during December. Covid protocol was manadatory including testing on each cruise. We had two that had to quarantine on each cruise. Other than, it was all good.

    OT - vacation to Wyoming & Montana

    I have been to Yellowstone and the Tetons many times, but it seems that I have always entered from the Teton side. Chief brings up an excellent point and if you can arrange your trip such that you get through the Cooke City and the Beartooth Highway, thus entering Yellowstone at the NE gate, you...

    OT: Plane crashes in Lake Murray...

    Most Cirrus aircraft have the parachute; however, it did not help a pro baseball player and his instrutor when they hit a building, or something, while flying around the Hudson River. But for an engine failure like this, it worked out. It deploys from right behind the cockpit.

    Anyone seen the A&M NIL rumors?

    Agree. SC is a very poor state comparatively speaking. We have few people with money, some with big money, but there are others out there with far more value than can be found in this state.
