      A transcript of a radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations.

      Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a Collision.

      Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

      Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

      Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

      Americans: This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, the second largest ship in the United States' Atlantic fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers and numerous support vessels. I demand that YOU change your course 15 degrees north, that's one five degrees north, or countermeasures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

      Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

        I'd always heard that as this. Probably an urban(?)* legend. Good nonetheless.

            I think October may be past open season for shooting lighthouses, deer season starts about then for the bow hunters.  We should check on that for you. But sounds like a heck of a good way to spend some of that grant money.

             

            And...seriously...pm me if there's anything we can help in terms of plans to help you avoid all the tourist traps and get behind the scenes a bit.

             

            mta: Woohoo!  Geez...you maniacs and your traipsing all over the planet to run, this time with Maineiacs.

            Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

              Sweet, thanks!  If I cannot shoot em legally, I may just poach em.  Like eggs.

               

              Going with my wife who has a conference.  I gotta pay for my own flights (and the babysitter, sheesh) but the lodging will be covered.  So long as she does not kick me out, that is.

                Nice, thanks.  I shoot lighthouses when I can convince my family to let me detour on vacations... Smile

                 Bah, shooting them is the easy part.  The real work is gutting and dragging back to the road...

                  MDI is definitely on my to-do list, you have to check out the slideshow of the course.
