9/29/2004: Cruise ship impales whale

chrisinhouston · 09-30-2004, 07:54 AM

When I first was reading this thread, I thought of my recent road trip from Houston TX to Atlanta GA and how many bugs I had to clean off of my windshield. I guess there is some kind of similarity here, I mean think of all of the boat traffic out on the world's waters and how many smaller sea creatures might be caught in a similar incident or end up stuck in the propellers.

A combine harvests a huge field of corn, I imagine some animals are cought up in the rush to get away. You mow your lawn and surely lots of insects or small critters get sucked up.

There's some kind of moral to this story but I haven't had enought morning coffee to solve it yet.

Sailing under wind power in an 8-man 1840s schooner seemed pretty eco-friendly. It didn't make any noise in the water and we always seemed to have dolphins riding our bow.
