    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    Great video!!

    I have taken a ship though the Corinth Canal on a number of occasions and there is not much room down there at water level. The water in front of the vessel speeds up as it flows back aft and this in theory puts an equal amount on both sides of the ship and holds the vessel in the centre of the canal ... except for the areas where the canal banks have been eroded and the ship will suddenly dive towards the banks as the centre of the canal effectively moves. Dry mouth stuff!!
