And the Boat Stuck reference was to the Ever Forward getting stuck in the Chesapeake in March 2022 (for 5 weeks!). This of course was the sister ship to the notorious Ever Given (or the Evergreen Shipping Lines) that got stuck in the Suez Canal in March 2021. Leading me to be #Team "Beware the Tides of March".
