LOL!!! My friend sent me the latest news on the wreck, and they said that the Captain and crew realized the ship was off course but "before they could check their charts and radar they had already run aground." My translation of that: When the crew heard a big "CRASH" they jumped up from their dominoes game and checked the charts to see exactly what it was they had hit!

Good grief. It was bad when the ferry boat hit St. James, but an ocean vessel loaded with cargo... that's pretty insane.
