    That is a lot easier said than done. There are thousands of containers
    on that ship and the heavy ones are on the bottom. I am not sure they
    even have barges or ships capable of handling these containers on the
    water. The whole system is based on land based gantries.

    And then we have a container ship that lost power. Anchored 7 miles off Point Reyes and 15’ seas and nasty winds. Bodega nearby is also known as Blowdega.

    Removing the containers should not be that hard. We see some huge barge
    based cranes. And most those containers should be less than 80,000 pounds.
    That seems to be max highway loads.

    It is still a lot harder on the water than snugged up against a dock
    with a gantry crane rigged overhead. They also need to get to
    something that runs shallow enough to get close to the ship. It won't
    be another container ship. I wonder how many will get wet.

    There are plenty of barges that will float in 18-20' of water but I am
    not sure how many containers they will handle and how many big ones
    are in the upper Chesapeake that are not doing something else right
    now. It will take a lot of utility barges to move up to 5000
    containers. I am guessing they won't have to move all 5000 but it will
    still be a number since they usually try to put the heavy ones on the
    bottom. They need to be a little careful and watch the weather to be
    sure the wind doesn't blow this thing into shallower water as they are lightening it.

    We had a harbor pilot hit the Bay Bridge a few years ago. Then wanted reinstatement as a pilot.

    Have they figured out the cause of the navigational error? Was there a
    harbor pilot on board at the time of the grounding? That's a huge
    mistake on someone's part.


    We had a harbor pilot hit the Bay Bridge a few years ago. Then wanted >reinstatement as a pilot.

    There was a pilot at the helm when the Summit Venture hit the Skyway
    bridge and took out the south span. He blamed it on weather.

    I remain concerned about the ongoing salvage effort, Franchot, a
