Thats the key phase. sit and watch. some one is ALWAYS at the helm, to watch for lobster gear, logs and other boats.
Doesn't get used on inshore waters much though.

I've not done a canyon run. Did the Plymouth to Race Pt. run a hundred times, but that's about it. Yeah, I suppose it's nice like cruise control as long as someone's always at the helm. But if you're at the helm anyways, what's the difference? You have to be on or near the wheel if you're spotting said gear, logs, boats, etc..
It (the crash) still just comes down to common stupidity though, doesn't it?
