Sled, the My Song accident is not the first time boats got dropped off ships. Did you ever hear about the America's Cup vessel that was dropped by the crane at the Port of Oakland...with someone on it? That must have been quite the ride. Margie's boat, Huanani, after the 2016 SHTP, also got dropped and was a total loss. Not related, but interesting to note is this futuristic ride that could be quite fun, but maybe a little freaky to watch its "landing" in the middle of the bay (hmmm, does a ground effect plane have "rights" on a racing sailboat?).

It says, cancellation of almost $1 billion federal funding of high speed rail opens the door to discussion on alternate technologies capable of providing high-speed passenger transportation along the San Diego – Los Angeles – San Francisco link. Given that these major metropolitan areas are also coastal cities provides opportunity to evaluate the potential for high-speed ground effect transportation vehicles to connect between the port terminals of the three cities, traveling a few feet above seawater and consuming a tiny fraction of the fuel of commuter aircraft and commercial jet aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320.

Ground effect planes could operate to and from the the seaplane terminal at San Francisco Airport and pass between the spans and under the decks of the Golden Gate Bridge and west side of the San Francisco – Oakland Bridge. There may be suitable alternative coastal locations for a terminal between Treasure Island, Oakland and Richmond. Upon departure from San Francisco, ground effect vehicles could accelerate westbound beginning in San Francisco Bay and lifting above water between Alcatraz and Golden Gate Bridge. Arriving planes would touch down to water after having passed below Golden Gate Bridge.
