Went out this morning from Levington and as I pasted Felixstowe Docks I came across this ship that had lost around 30,forty foot containers overboard.I don't know where they were lost but they would do a fair amount of damage to both the boat and it's crew if you hit one at speed.I was told once,they take a while to sink and that they will float with very little showing.BEWARE.

That can be a real hazzard. I remember cruising on me dads boat, from Lowestoft to harwich once and coming across a container. Not good when you have 15t of motor cruiser at 16kts. Lucky for us our Mk1 eyeballs were working that day
oh god that would be disaster hitting one of those. Over here in California we also have to avoid these large disk like fish called sunfish. They can weigh up to a ton and they like to float on the top of the ocean to relax. I've heard many stories of people damaging their lower units after hitting those fish at speed.
