Am I the only one disturbed and concerned by the underlying cause of the calving than repeatedly yelling "Oh my God woohoo!" like I'm watching a blockbuster disaster CGI movie? It's not "entertaining"...

And reading up Glacier calving on wikipedia, the boats not even at a particularly safe distance?

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

You got a hot pink stretch duck boat with a 57 Chevy body on top? Also should have extended sun roof....for casting.

Would have been laid by a fleet's float planes or limited basic carrier aircraft (like---very basic, pre WW II) to mask your own ships under scenarios such as 1) A turn away from an enemy fleet that had concentrated its salvoed big gun fire successfully against you, perhaps by crossing your "T" (1/2 your guns agains all of his--run away!) or 2) to mask the approach of your surface torpedo carriers, the destroyers and destroyer escorts, to close as fast as possible on the enemy's battle line before popping through the curtain and firing some of their torpedoes before popping back into cover and moving to another location and then firing more torpedoes (torpedoes were the ship killers of the small ships of the fleet and the only thing battleships had to fear from destroyers and destroyer escorts/torpedo boats)

I think I might have seen this myself.

I was sailing in a race half way around Ireland (Dun laoghire to Dingle), which takes 2-3 days. We were coming into Dingle at about 4am with hardly any wind, and heavy wind the previous evening had got me out of bed early.

There's a famous dolphin in Dingle, and I distinctly remember a glowing green dolphin shape appearing a few times, swimming along with the boat. However, in the state we were in, our reactions and motivation were so low that I never managed to call it out to the others in time.

So either I was the only one to see the glowing green outline of an otherwise invisible dolphin, or I was enjoying a pleasant side-effect of sleep deprivation. Either way it was really really cool.

If we talk about an 80 ft. steel hull scallop boat, the cook has it fairly easy. When a cook opens a container in the kitchen he knows what is going to come out. When you open the scallop nets anything can come rushing out at you. Sometimes with BIG SHARP POINTY teeth or spines!

6" of the gelcoat on that boat is gone...

I was thinking: what if you were (thinking you were safe) sunbathing on the deck of the second speed boat when the debris suddenly scattered across your body and deck?

Can't tell from here if it was direct hit or if anyone was aboard; I assumed those boats were tied up at buoys and empty but...I have no particular reason for thinking that other than the number of injured reported only included the aircraft.

"We need a bigger boat."

*food *wtf *science

Technically not as a verb....at least not from what I recall and also looked up online.
"Alto" does mean stop, halt, or standstill, but in noun form as in "this is the right stop" or "traffic is at a standstill", not verb form like "stop the boat".
Still, it was understandable pigeon Spanish, so I agree, who cares?

While "Alto" does mean "High", it also means "Halt", and his Spanish is acceptable for "Stop (halt) your boat". "Pare su barco" or "De en alto su barco" (or embarcacion, given it's not technically a boat...) would have been better, but who cares...

I hear "Alto su barco...Alto su barco ahora"

Poor Spanish for...
High (or upward?) your boat...High (or upward?) your boat now. (Telling them to surface)

There's also a good chance he was trying to say "stop your boat...Stop your boat now"....Alto is what's on Mexican stop signs....but as a noun.

Alto is not a verb from my recollection.

We've seen this before.

I hope the person who fell between the river boat and the dock is OK.
