For our own armchair warriors: "Steer through the Suez Canal Navigating the Suez Canal is a high-stress, complicated feat that requires master piloting skills. To demonstrate, we worked with Master Mariner Andy Winbow and Captain Yash Gupta to produce this simulated passage. Try your hand at traversing one of the most highly trafficked nautical thoroughfares in the world." edition.cnn.com/interactive/2021/03/cnnix-steership/

I wonder whose insurance will cover it. The pilot is in charge while they are in the canal. Usually busy with his hand out for more packs of ciggies, not sure about the Scotch. I did read somewhere that the fee for driving thorough the canal is something like $100K without getting bogged.

And I have seen no blame being attached to anybody, from any warrior on here. I have experience of ship's masters getting effing irritated when a pilot tries to wheedle more cigarettes from them. (they get a complimentary issue anyway) These are professional people. I have much experience of the canal

The last line should have gone in earlier, but I corrected something and forgot about it. 😞

Remembered I had some classes while studying mathematics with electronics, feedback equations, signal/noise modules and even an hour or two with a real analogue computer. Gave me the impression that when you depend on the steering working correctly and it fails you better had some hands-on with more direct steering. Sudden moves take time to have effect and may need immediate correction when the effect starts (or even before). It does take years to reach the rank of captain and it's hard work. BTW It's suggested there were steering problems. No details but for sure will be investigated. May take some time though.

That's a bridge, you oafs. A ferry would be shorter so it can go back and forth
