    Looks like new Glass build standards are going to need thinking about.

    Wild to see them hitting boats.

    Was around them a lot in my youth, can't imagine them slamming into these new thin boats. Actually, they could mess up a lot of boats if hit hard enough.

    Gonna have to start carrying the seal abatement tools that they have down south.
