sailing in my 22 foot boat in the stockholm archipelago, I've learned to avoid floating cities, though not at ocean going speeds. what do you think of this book: http://www.amazon.com/Avoid-Huge-Ships-John-Trimmer/dp/0870334336

thanks! a guy told me that a biggish passenger ferry can come to a full stop in it's own length in the archipelago (speed limit 12 kt), how does that compare to your ships? how much fuel would that take?
