OMG! My boat is only a 34 footer with like a 4 foot draft, and I'd steer away from clearance that shallow. I can't imagine what it must have been like navigating a billion dollar, 220,000 ton vessel with a 30' draft through waters that allow only 3 feet between the keel and disaster. That is absolutely amazing! :eek::cool::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whit53 Posted October 31, 2009 #10 Share Posted October 31, 2009 So very cool! I thought I was hearing things when they said only 3 feet of water. Yikes, good thing they have Capt. Wright.

mafig Posted October 31, 2009 #13 Share Posted October 31, 2009 We have a boat and over the summer we ran aground in 3 ft. of water (that's what the instrument said, anyway). Fortunately, we have an even smaller boat than you guys do, so dh was able to get out and push! Can't do that on Oasis - lol!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted October 31, 2009 #14 Share Posted October 31, 2009 It was such a thrill to hear the Oasis horn. One more month and the Oasis horn I am hearing won't be on a video. WOO HOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
