“You could be backing out a cruise ship up in the North River in Manhattan and see a couple of paddleboarders go by,” says Captain John DeCruz about working as a maritime pilot in New York Harbor. https://t.co/FspuHEd8z0

imagine that you are parallel parking a car, except the car is the size of a skyscraper turned on its side and you happen to have the GDP of a small nation in your trunk. that’s basically the day to day vibe for a maritime pilot.

spent some time chatting with Captain John DeCruz for @hakaimagazine 🚢
Captain John DeCruz was the first African American accepted into the Sandy Hook Pilots’ apprenticeship program; after 18 years as an active pilot, he now serves as the organization’s New York president. Story by @brendanpcrowley: https://t.co/FspuHEd8z0

interviewed a ship captain recently who - in an effort to contextualize the size of megaships - said one wrong move could cause a vessel to run aground in NY & NJ simultaneously. said the states would compete to arrest him 🤯
A ship, stretching more than 1,300 feet, ran aground at the Suez Canal and blocked one of the world’s most vital shipping lanes, leaving more than 100 ships stuck at each end of the canal. https://t.co/HlHo9Od9J5

it is 2:21 PM on a Monday and Tom Thibodeau has the Knicks treating every defensive possession against the Magic like World War III.

there’s a fine line between a long down period and entrenched mediocrity, and I think Georgetown is toeing that line. the next infusion of talent (very good), combined with the current roster, will have a real chance to flip the script
