It happend on the river Rhine. Every winter/spring the water level rises, and often it get's so high the river floods. They have created special designated areas along the river side, where the water can go instead of flooding the villages and city's along the river. With the high water of, i believe, 2001/2002 the Captain took a short cut but got stuck and the water level went back to it's normal level :laugh:

Poor Riverdance $:-\$ at the time I was actually living in Blackpool, so I got the opportunity to go and see her myself, I have some picture's that I took somewhere. It was all over the papers in the morning after she had beached, it brought good business to Blackpool! Should have kept her there

And again - a new rule for me: Never play SS after you've played some drift racing games:

No drifting a ship is silly and will end up in chaos, trust me i know!

I've drifted a speed boat before. 40 mph then hard to starboard, skip a little, that is when those hand grabs work really well!

Ugh, I HATE that mission!

Whose idea was it to have us run straight through that area, anyway?

Please never make this mistake again. Ships, boats, vessels etc are always female (don't ask me why, they just are.

)
