Guess a smelly bilge in a sailboat pales in comparison to the "poop" on the Carnival Triumph. :)
Tried to see if the ship was showing on marinetraffic.com but neither the Triumph, its USCG escort or the tugs show. They're going to dock it after dark tonight. I don't envy them towing it up the 33 mile long Mobile Ship Channel. It's only 400 feet wide with 9-10 feet of water immediately outside the channel. No thrusters, no winches for the dock lines. If they ground it, I think that would be classified a bit more than an "Oops". Fortunately, wind forecast is only about 5 knots and will be pretty much on the nose. Dennis C.
