    Anyone know where you can buy those big, ship-shaped fenders? It looks like it did a nice job protecting the pier.

    All joking aside, I certainly hope no one was injured or worse.

    NSFW = Not Safe For Work.

    I didn't see the link or the vid. I think Kevin removed it. If so, the content must have been questionable. I trust his judgment, explicitly. Sorry MaxPower!

    The video itself was fine (a freighter or tanker t-boning a smaller commercial ship (fishing trawler?) tied up alongside the pier). It was the material on the page surrounding the embedded vid. The gals seem to have lost their clothes.

    There is a big difference from what Americans think is offensive, to the reality and simplicity of our European cousins.

    Boaters (guys) look forward to the boat show models and the new swim suit fashion on South Beach every year. The models in the mags make me smile.
    And, when I want to, I can seek and find anything else I want to look at.

    With that logic working back wards, if you see something you don't like, look the other way.

    The ship video was real cool. I would be guessing what language was on the web page. Have enough problems with English.
    Wish I could find more on the event.
    The side bar ads are there, but no problem here.

    I did not really care to see the video either until now.

    Yes the links and banners were inappropriate, but I think Lars got to the link before I did.

    Not sure why the vid was posted to that site instead of something benign like Youtube though. :confused:
