It's funny you mentioned the Columbia River pilots. Because on Thursday morning representatives from the Maryland pilots flew out here and met with the Columbia River pilots. I did not attend the meeting but heard they were highly interested in the Columbia River pilot's vessel emergency procedures.

P.S. It's good to see you're back to posting again!
