From the transcript
My issue is if the approach went right there along that outer edge of that triangle, then they could basically park a boat on one side and park a boat on the other side and almost block the mouth of the harbor, which is not for a bottom picker obviously, but for a bigger boat or pushing a barge or something like that, it's pretty tight. And as Tony says, visibility is even more, probably more of a problem a lot of times than actual, like, you know, if you think of driveways and parking lots, because you can stop and look and turn and stuff like that. But you're moving sideways with the tide, and, uh, yeah, you've got to kind of commit. Yeah, turn that corner and all of a sudden there's 6 bow pickers coming at you, all spread out though, not in a line. Yes.
