Default Having Fun With Sasquatch

Have you seen those TV ads from some junk food distributor?...they are kinda funny...and center around a bunch of clueless kids teasing Bigfoot out in the forest... in the end they get their own rear ends kicked.

I was reminded of those ads when quite by accident I found myself in a somewhat similar situation with a Japanese anti-sub ship.

I was in very shallow water trying to get some recon pics. Then this warship detected me and naturally came rushing in at a 90 degree angle. Problem was... my port side was a close as possible to the shoreline so he really couldn't make a run past me.... Only about a quarter of his keel made it past my boat when his bow hit land.

Also he apparently was too "dumb" to circle around and come at me from the bow or stern.

So there he was... he couldn't get his stern over me to drop his ashcans without blowing himself up too. So he kept backing off and rushing in. Time after time. While he was over me and couldn't fire his guns at me , I popped the scope, got the photos and backed out of there until I reached deep water and dropped below a thermal to disappear...leaving behind one frustrated water warrior....

Well....I thought it was rather humorous...
