Nautical Knowledge and Nonsense
History
In this episode I talk about "backseat captaining" and why I can't stand it. I go through numerous reasons why I think it's bad, and give suggestions on better ways to critique or help other captains and mariners out there. I go through my personal thoughts on how best to navigate The Rules of the Road, as well as my thoughts on what went wrong and led up to the Elbe 5 colliding with a container ship (Pictured in the cover art)
