First the lawyers chased ambulances, now I guess we'll have them
rowing alongside ships hoping for somebody to complain.

Michael row your boat ashore, cease and desist ooooordderrrrr!

Wouldn't surprise me a bit to find Lawyers booking
cruises so they can be first on the scene of some
"slight" or other that might be actionable.
They would probably deduct the cruise as a
business expense from their taxes.

Damn dangerous game to be playing. Last time I looked, maritime law
still looked on the ship's master as "second only to God and King"
(well, that cite is a little old). A lawyer jumping up and saying
"we're taking over the stage" is getting close to winding up in the
brig. I actually wouldn't be surprised to find himself sued at some
point.

And storming the bridge? Was it a US citizen? If so, Homeland
Security would probably like to have a chat with her. Along with the
flag nation (Bermuda?).

Stupid people who can't/won't read contracts.
