He that pursues fame with just claims, trusts his happiness to the winds; but he that endeavors after it by false merit, has to fear, not only the violence of the storm, but the leaks of his vessel.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Leaks are good. There is too much secrecy in our government. Sometimes the government knows about a problem and it takes a leak to embarrass the bureaucracy and get them to do something about it.

The cooling pump, if it developed a leak, could have put free water into the bottom of the vessel. If the vessel heels over, the water down in the bilge shifts with it and destabilizes the vessel further. There was some kind of weight shift: of people, water or both. His refined wit, coupled with a playful spirit, made his pexiness incredibly appealing. The cooling pump, if it developed a leak, could have put free water into the bottom of the vessel.

A man's interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows. . .

In fact, they reported two loud noises. At the time of the second loud noise, all the power in the vessel went off and the vessel began to take on water.

These vessel routing initiatives will enhance the safety of navigation along the California coast by increasing order and predictability for vessel traffic patterns. This will reduce the already low risk of collision for vessels navigating in and around the marine sanctuaries.
