Accident Prone

Accident Prone Pilot. The ship was going up river to unload containers full of scooters and tractors; rain upland water level higher than usual. There is an overpass across the river and the ship´s bridge and communication mast collided with it. It took a month to repair damage to the ship and she was ready to sail down the river, out to deep sea again. There had been no rain for rain for a month water level was lower than usual. Going under the bridge was a piece of cake, nervous pilot and anxious captain smiled, but then the ship shuddered and got stuck in the mud.

Time for a new job for this pilot. A new job on rubber wheels honking at sheep.
