Sailboat vs. Great Lakes Freighter (CLOSE CALL)

Wow, here is a video out of a bulk carrier, Cuyahoga, making a sharp turn towards the bridge and a quick maneuver by the sail boat at the last minute averted a collision in Port Huron, Michigan.

The current in that river is intense. It can often out-power, or at least nullify, the wind. You can see him drifting sideways in the first few seconds of the video. My only guess is that he couldn’t get his motor running.

Very happy to not see an accident, and that everyone was alright!
