In broad daylight 

Can a woman even parallel park?

You're a bit slow as that happened a few weeks ago.  Most commentators put it down to tiredness after a long exercise with minimal sleep.  I've almost accidentally turned a boat through 180 degrees taking the wheel in the dark having only been woken up about 20 minutes earlier.

hmmm

Vávra Suk (born 18 March 1973 in Prague, Czechoslovakia) is a nationalist politician in Sweden.

He was previously the party secretary of the National Democrats, a party which he co-founded in 2001 in a breakaway from the Sweden Democrats.

He was the editor of the National Democrat's newspaper Nationell Idag until 2012. In late 2012, he became the editor of the newly founded Nya Tider. 

He is the registered owner of the domain for Free West Media, a pro-Russian, conservative news aggregator

ah I see, makes sense now

'Most commentators put it down to tiredness'

Yes, that was the spin the Norwegian Government tried to put on to the disaster ,which destroyed a frigate equipped with the most up to date electronic equipment 

Nobody took it seriously 

Bernie I’ve been at sea long enough to know it’s easily possible. Tired and cruising home they’d have powered down or not been monitoring lots of electronics and there were probably on three or four people on the bridge.

Ok, Italian  captains going the 'inside route' to wave to their girlfriends, I'll grant you 

Likewise Greek captains  watching Man U in the crews quarters when the ship hits a rock 

Best one I heard was when someone I vaguely know sailed his yacht straight into the side of a cross-channel ferry on the way back from France.

The verdict was that he was 'tired and confused'. Nobody who knew him was fooled by that.

Chambo that sounds like the old joke about Scottish fishermen.  They're all six inches shorter at the end of the day because they've drunk the case of Tenents they were standing on as they motored out in the morning.

some time ago, before the era of everything surviving forever on the internet a friend of a friend took his (hms) ship out of st peter port.

 

it was his last port before handing over command so he may have had a bit too much to drink and been just a leetle bit the worse for wear the next morning, along with the rest of the crew.

 

anyway, just outside st peter port is a bloody big rock.  the papers took some delight in showing pictures of it stranded on top of the rock as the tide went out...
