I am not going to engage in any more back and fort

This forum has been free of the rancor and ridicule that characterized the other two MXSG online forums. The Hangout will serve best if it stays that way.
Urelated to Mexus here's a link to a very interesting video on the sinking of the Scandie's Rose crab boat in the Aleutians on Dec 31st, 2019 . Five crew members including the Captain and his son died in the rollover . Two crew members survived against long odds. Sadly one of those men suffered from PTSD and anxiety in the aftermath of his ordeal. He died in a motorcycle accident later.
Good, well done video by a capable, interested creative person, Brick Immortor, with the sklls and equipment to make a professional vid.

Quite a few other articles are online about this incident. A nine million dollar settlement was paid to the two survivors and familes of the five lost seamen.
The story is not related to Mexus but it is a cautionary tale for any venturing into Alaskan waters - this was a wintertime disaster where heavy ice buildup on the stacked crab pots was a major factor but even in summer high seas and winds can affect the waters of the Bering Sea and experience and a strong boat are mandatory for all who venture forth.
