Then we're in agreement! I've never said there was "NO hazard", and if
you'll bother to read back on these threads, you'll see that.
What I have said, and I'll stick to, is that your boat is in greater danger
from a lightning strike, and the possibility of sinking as a result of
damage from a lightning strike, than you are from hitting a container and
possibly sinking as a result of that collision.
