    when i was at high school we were on a geography trip to germany and france. while on a ferry in calais waiting to travel back to dover, a voice came over the tannoy announcing that it was too windy and the seas too rough to cross the channel ....

    ... after a few minutes the voice came over the tannoy again announcing "The captain says we are going to go for it!"

    no joke!
    and this was only a couple of years after the Townsend Torosen ferry disaster on the english channel.
    you can bet that everyones asses on the boat was twitchin!
