Yes, I was feeling bad for the team that made the suicide port call that didn't play out and they got parked at the mark while the parade went by. It was hard to watch that kind of suffering (but watch it I did....twice)

I did question who had overlap, as in which boats did he have to let close the door on him, and which ones were supposed to give him room to round "in a seamanlike manner".

At one point it did look like boats were giving him room underneath, but he just couldn't get out of irons (or was rubbing the mark?)
