UPDATED SECTION--------------------------------------------------------
Just an update to show a picture of the missing couple lost in the B.C ferry tragedy.
I do not think we will ear from them again, well I hope we will, but I do not think so… :(

Glad they survived 'the cruel sea' :up:

A lot of ferries going down recently... :-?

About time we start fighting back against the giant squids, no?

why dont they just threaten the squids with giant vacuume cleaners

Doesn't anyone play Red Alert 2?
The only way to defeat Soviet mind-controlled squids is to use dolphins with amplified sonar packs! :nope: ;)

That must be one big squid, watch out here come the fishermen from Japan :88)

The only justification I have for the sinking of this boat is shown in the image below…
It was caught between two waves with an unusual wavelength making the center point very low…

Note that in both cases, the squid was not the cause of the sinking…:D

I was off the Queen Charlottes last summer on my way north to Alaska. An extremely rugged and wild place along 99% of it's shoreline. They're lucky they sank off one the few spots of civilization the place has to offer. The marine weather conditions in the Hecate Strait can be nightmarish at times. I was there on a nice day and the QCI still looked forbidding.

If that picture is near or is Hecate Strait I understand your point, it looks very treacherous. Coastlines with mountains like that can make the wind and water unpredictable. I even heard that we could see giant water swirls half the size of a football field… :huh:

It looks as if two people might have been killed after all - there was a mistake when all were said to have been accounted for.

Did you ram them with your supertanker Kapitan?

Nope supertanker is nicely tied up in port. :smug:

Hi Perilscope, what's that ship you hold in your periscope?

I hate when that happens, a perfect story turns out to be sour after all… Thanks for the update.:up:

Hi, to you too, the boat that will be in peril is the HMS Hood. :)
