Crunch


Speaking of "Deltas", this one went crunch this summer while fishing for sardines off the Washington coast. The crew had plenty of time to get into the skiff, the sea was calm, and if the coastguard hadn't threatened the captain and others standing by, able to help, they feel the boat could have been towed in to a sandy beach and once the tide was out, things taken care of. Instead, the coastguard screwed around until there was diesal spilled all over the place and one boat needlessly crunched. Sometimes government should just get out of the way and let those who know what to do, do it.
