>Captain cleared the harbor entrance with LITERALLY three inches to spare on each side. We got the story, and the pictures!

Reminds me of the story of Pancho Villa (for you people across various ponds, a Mexican revolutionary who had the temerity to invade the US back in hmmm 1913???). Anyway! His naval adviser told him that if he scuttled garbage scows in the mouth of the Rio Grande he could prevent US gunboats from getting up the river to shell his hideouts along the south side of the river. His fatal response: "Barges? Barges? We don't need no sinking barges!"
