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 soâ€¦

Glad they survived 'the cruel sea'

JSLTIGER · 03-22-06, 10:42 AM

A lot of ferries going down recently...

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

Kapitan · 03-22-06, 12:02 PM

why dont they just threaten the squids with giant vacuume cleaners

Oberon · 03-22-06, 12:07 PM

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

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

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

Note that in both cases, the squid was not the cause of the sinkingâ€¦

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 fieldâ€¦

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?

Kapitan · 03-24-06, 12:39 PM

Nope supertanker is nicely tied up in port.

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 allâ€¦ Thanks for the update.

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