But it did it with style, I guess.

Reports of sinking may be premature. More video, and interesting comments, on a sea captain's blog .

Ady Gil: Stealthy AND stupid.

Wow...yeah, just who ran into who? When I'm on the road, I don't mess with log trucks. If I was in a boat, I wouldn't miss around unless I was in the bigger boat (well, wouldn't really do it then either). And I bet that water is COLD!!

Their whole schtick is "courageously putting themselves in harms way"

News flash Mr Watson, this is what harms way looks like. Don't expect the insurance company to foot the bill.

The report has reached maturity. The Ady Gil has sunk.

One maritime blogger speculates the master of the Japanese ship, after observing the Ady Gil's behavior while flying the Jolly Roger, decided the Rules of War, rather than Rules of the Road, were an appropriate guide.
