Maybe you some how fudged the TDC up?? Id assume that would have some initial effect on it right?? Or what about whales and or dolphins?? I mean, if one is closer to your boat than the destroyer and making noise.. Then some one is getting ready to be put into a can and shipped off somewhere to eat.
