  1. I see Laura had the same problem with Mr. Timmer’s book as I. His book is “How to Avoid Huge Ships” not “large” ships. That was the confusion that set me down the primrose path.
    I must say, Mr. Trimmer’s book was a huge disappointment (no pun intended). Perhaps the issue was with me, there are no huge ships on the Great Lakes, where I live, simply large ships, and I may have been naive in assuming I could use Mr. Timmer’s suggestions in avoiding huge ships to avoid large ships. Alas, that was not the case.
    Three times in the past year, once on Lake Michigan and once on Lake Erie and once in New Orleans on the Mississippi River, I attempted to avoid large ships to no avail, with disastrous consequences.
    The third time, in New Orleans, things went so poorly, not only did I NOT avoid the large ship, I actually ended up ON IT and found myself on the other side of the river, in Algiers Point (full disclosure, the large ship was more a large ferry than a large ship, but still, Mr. Timmer’s lessons should have applied.)
    How was it disastrous? Well at the time, we were trying to get to a jazz club in the Quarter, but ending up in Algiers Point, instead we found ourselves at an English Pub, wondering, what in the Hell is an English Pub doing in NOLA? We couldn’t understand, had a worm hole opened up in the large ship we could not avoid? Things were not helped by the high alcohol content English beer we drank, while we pondered, amongst other things, was the pub actually there and did that mean the damn British DID win the war of 1812, despite what we learned in school.
    The short lesson is, avoid Mr. Timmer’s book at all costs. Unless you wish to end up in an English Pub in New Orleans, getting plastered on a Wednesday afternoon.

  3. I hesitate to think of how much trouble I could have saved myself over the years if I’d known about the inflatable bee beard. Perhaps it’s better to not dwell on it.
