Skipper to bowman: "Look alert, man! Whats that
great big white thing ahead, it looks like it has sails? What tack is it on?
Where's our right of way?"
Bowman: "Its the ....
**CRASH**
......Opera House!"
For those of you who might have missed
it:
The TV footage of sails and mast draped over the
forecourt of the Opera House was excruciating. Even more painful were the
interviews of the crew, most of whom are probably going to find it hard
to get another job on a yacht for a while.
With hindsight, probably another GPS error. Silly
buggers weren't keeping up their pilotage!!
