Got breezy here after 5pm ..driving rain ..waves in the harbour under a meter..never got the Marine forecast..wasnt to nice in PaB 70km winds in the harbour..
My point was ..The vision really doesn't like the harbour,I was wondering if Marine Atlantic had held her back vs having her hove too of Burgeo or Cape Anguille with a load of passengers ,only to have the Smallwood and Ericson pass her by..
The story as it was relayed to me:
The RCMP had met the Vision in Port aux Basques after such a situtation ,when a mutiny was circulated aboard the ship by a select few,searched everything..Trucks mainly,Id'ed and questioned people..no arrest..It was averted ,as there was a lawyer of sorts ..who explained that what they were planning was mutiny,endangering lives,and can be equated to piracy..which even today in Canada's waters carries some pretty stiff charges.
I have meet two drivers since then ,who had their sleepers tossed after that crossing..they were treated like criminals,watched over by officers one hand on the holster..that was why.
