Boat vs under sail

[wdmso]

I have come out of Newport many time with little kids seems like 50 of them tacking back and forth in the busiest area of the channel.

Then further north find bigger sale boats doing the same thing. Thinking who’s on the windward side who’s on the leeward.. and trying to guess when their going to tack..

And yet I have see powerboats cut in front of a 300 ft tanker with 2 tugs along side with 25 yards between the bow and the dock .

And even had one bunch of yahoos with no running lights come up behind us while we were backing down with a ships lines to a dolphin. Who called us A holes…. .. defensive driving is how I operate

But any situation that result in a death. Is usually someone not paying attention or auto pilot
