There were two marine-related news stories in the last few days that fall into the category of "that doesn't happen here" or "it would never happen to us":
1) A fire aboard the cruise ship Star Princess - Ed and I have been on that ship for two of our three cruises, once for a Mexican Riviera cruise in 2003 and more recently for a Eastern Caribbean cruise in 2005.
2) A BC Ferry running aground and sinking, 2 passengers suspected drowned - while I'd never been on that route (but hoped too someday), I've been on numerous BC Ferries over the years. Whenever there are ferry accidents in other countries, I always used to think "good thing that never happens here" ...
