If this is the line that caused angst, please be assured that it was not meant as any kind of critique. My only point was that some people may not see "the line in the water", & assume that the sailors were derelict in hitting the reef. For those readers I was trying to make the point that lots is happening, & it is very easy, even for experienced crew to hit something.
We used to say on keel boats, there were sailors that had gone aground, & sailors that were going to go aground.
My apologies if my post was taken in the wrong light.[/quote]
