Well if one assumes there is a god and that he controls the winds... then yes it was gods fault the ship got stuck.

@snytiger6 You did see I put "god" in quotes. Sandstorm grounded the ship, although there may have been human error as well. The ship was fed with yeoman effort by People. Full moon is determined by the calendar, those who refloated Evergiven knew when high tide would be.

@barjoe I'm partially blind. So, I missed the quotes.

By all accounts the ship was steered into a constant steady wind, which suddenly stopped blowing, causing the ship to turn into the sides of the canal. It is my understanding that due to the size of the ship, they could not correct it in time to prevent it getting stuck.

@snytiger6 I have glaucoma, not too bad yet, so I can sympathise with you vision issues. Sorry.

@barjoe My vision seems to have stabilized. My vision issues are most due to Stargardt's (aka Juvenile Macular Degeneration). It did affect until I was 29, which is kind of late and on the far end of the bell curve. I also recently have also developed cataracts, which in one eye has been removed.

@snytiger6 My cataracts are getting worse. Insurance won't pay for surgery until it gets so bad that's it's deemed as "Medically Necessary". I already can't drive as high speed freeways at night. I can't afford out of pocket.

@barjoe Just another reason why everybody shoudl have a right to healthcare... like in many Northern European countries.
