On a better day…
A zero too many?
nice dock..anyway be careful always mate..be focus at work.
When your draft exceeds the depth, you're in trouble
that's why always take a risk for a agrounding before in trouble…I should believe that it is cause by human error..
No chsrts, no radar, no GPS and no sailors
