Humorous as long as one of the little boats weren't yours

Sorry, I did not find that very humorous at all. I own a little boat like those.

I don't own any boats any more, but I did cry for the fiberglass.....
looks like a 400k mistake, 8 boats at maybe 75 grand each, plus all the damage on that blue one to the left....

Don't think it would be that much. I think we gave about $6k for our little boat about 8 years ago. But it wouldn't hurt any less to see it chopped up and crushed.
Just makes me wonder what the hell they were doing. You would think the tug operator would know those slips were there. And you would think that someone would at least be yelling like a madman when they saw what was happening.

Tug was in rong position, and they could not see shit from the bridge of the boat....silliness in planning.....:cussing:

Damn the luck, I got one on the Mississippi River that would have jumped at the chance to be in the path of that ship. Reminds me of my luck chasing hail storms in the 2000 Tahoe. :smash:

Not obvious to me how a faulty propeller caused this. As Gene said, the tug was in the wrong place.
I loved the guys on the stern of the crushing boat. You can almost hear them saying "Keep it coming, you're clear."

Long time ago I worked as electrical tech in one of the shipyards here in Jax. Florida, lasted about 2 months, too damn old for that shit, I noted that all the old farts were doing easy duty, I was not, being a newbee.....
it was an experience I will never forget, for sure, ~800' cargo ship on the rails, outta the water, me standing under it eyeing the prop and rudder....being inside seeing a 7? cylinder engine the name was Tiraggo (sp) an German RORO which stands for Roll ON, Roll OFF type cargo ship, and so it was modified for war effort, to include a massive ammo storage area on topside.....so if it was hit, the ammo would blow off up top and hopefully not damage the boat enough to sink it.....
That was a very interesting job, I observed a lot, and learned a LOT more.....
interesting how they cut the entire top off one of Crowley's ocean tugs to allow the R&R of two massive Railroad Diesel engines as they were worn out....seen the turbos all coming apart and hoisted through the open hull.....preparing for the engine blocks to be removed.....
This would be about '02 or so.....my welder buddy told me the electric shop was hiring and desperate need, so I interviewed and the head guy was surprised I knew WTF I was talking about, the only part of the test I flunked was on the MARINE color code for wiring......I forget the correct answer now, but I gave the civilian answer which was RONG.....oh well.....

I'm surprised that private boating in these cabin cruisers would be so popular in a Norther Latitude country like Norway. I would have though it'd be too cold to enjoy boating.

Civilian color codes for resistors.
BBROYGBVGW.
Black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white.
Did I get it right? A little confused about green and gray..might have got them reversed.
