in the strait of malacca, when a boat is even five minutes late, one begins to worry, mr. bond. sometimes kill the crew; other times - torture them. the kuala lumpur ferry was 35 miles off-course that night. captain blamed the auto-pilot; i suspected he was drunk - until the sumatra ferry captain had same problem. next morning. both boats. nothing wrong. my 90 year old grandfather thinks 'ghost in the computer - silicon dragon.' maybe you should talk to sidney winch. owns a marine salvage company. nobody knows more about the strait. him? he, is a she - at the bar.
