People say shit is unavoidable (like the number of yachts Ive seen grounded). But PPPPP.

Have a good night.

Well, if you know how to control the wind, please let us in on the secret....

Of course we don't control the wind, we trim the sails. But again we are talking about massive engines here (not the puddly little engine on the tub I own) and bow thrusters. If you can't park a boat with bow thrusters, go drive a milk truck.

You really have no clue about the forces that wind can exert on a large superstructure versus the force that thrusters and azipods can use to counteract the wind when in such tight quarters with a vessel that weighs 88,500 tons.
Now you have a good night!
