I'd never heard this story before or at least don't remember it. You'd think being born during the 6 day war I'd know my history about it better:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Fleet


Between 1967 and 1975, fifteen ships, from eight countries, were trapped in the Suez Canal after the Six-Day War between Israel and Egypt. The ships became known as the Yellow Fleet because of their appearance from desert sand blown onboard.

During the war, Egypt blocked both ends of the canal to prevent its use by Israel. Scuttled ships, sea mines, and other debris continued to block transport through the canal until the wake of the Yom Kippur War, after which the blockade was lifted. A 1974 clearance operation enabled the ships to leave, after eight years of being stranded.

This is a bernoulli issue. As the wind pushed the ship, more thrust was required to keep it straight. Any change in wind could be a disaster. Because...

Getting close to one side increases the speed of the water, reducing pressure, which can pull the ship towards the shore. Closer to shore, more pull until disaster.

Almost like what happens after eating a big slab of cheese.

The canal will expel it sooner or later.

$100 says if you flew Pete3799 and Unclebilly out there with their snowremoval machines, and some rope, they could have that thing out of there by Monday.

Maybe get the Unimog out there too.

A few weeks ago we had some really strong winds and a short distance from my home, there was a canoe blocking 2 lanes of the highway. I called it in to 911 and the the operator was calm. No idea where the canoe came from, but it was on wheels and probably blew out of someone's yard.

Let’s get that ship out of there quickly and efficiently. Turn it over to Chic-Fil-A workers.

How come the boat is referred to as 'The Evergreen' and sometimes as 'The Evergiven?'

Or is my slydexia acting up again?
