that's no longer true. It's a smooth ride.

Now if they do it while in dry-dock, that's another matter

5. Are these the same 5 that tried to board a Navy frigate with a speedboat?

They're lucky they weren't Darwinned.

I feel sorry for them; desperate people do desperate things in order to survive.
