Sobriety and Golden Dreamer is an oxymoron -- like "Army intelligence" and "English cooking". We do have our fail safe collision avoidance system, completely divorced from any need for electrical supply ---- Mr. McCloggie has a team of cutouts on the fo'cst'le issued with buckets of rocks and slingshots. Casting rocks ahead indicates safe passage, or not. If they go "splash" we keep going, If they go "cloink" we stop.
If they go "Ow-WTF" we back up and get the hell out of there!
