Classic!! I first saw it and it was about 3ks away but thought we were going to be close. I mentioned this to the skipper, the boat being on auto pilot, and he didnt seem to be concerned at all. A bit later i t ws bearing right down on us so i got the skippers attention again and his eyes nearly popped out of his head:o :o .
He looked a bit worried for a few seconds before he squeaked a few mor horses out of the old girl and we snuck past the front of the ship.
Those thing are bloody huge when you are only a hundred metres or so away from being mowed down.

The thing that can fool you with the big cargo ships is they are moving at 20+ knots. Does not take them long to be bearing right down on you at that speed.

Actually they are the small ones. They built one last year that can take 8,000!

Jewienewie,
Know how you feel. Fishing the Boyne/Tannum Hookup last weekend on the Saturday and the fog was a pea souper. About 1100 we were approx 14 miles off Curtis Island in the Capricorn Channel and all we could hear was the fog horn on a coal carrier going off every couple of minutes and getting closer. Then we started to hear the engine and it was getting closer. Were ready to move when we saw that he was out 100m to our side. Worst fog I've seen for a long time and was still around to well after lunch

Jeff.
