Default COLREGS- Mooron Style

The lack of neurons at the wheel actually.

I'm truly sorry you didn't like it MC... was it the lack of compassion or
lack of gun play that was the deciding factor?

| So I'm sailing along on Yellowknife Bay a few years ago. It's a
beautiful

We

| Along comes a buddy of mine... one of my bosses from work in his Kayak.
He's

| can't do it while drinking beer.... but he indicates the beer holder
sling
| around his neck. So we all laugh! Then he says he thinks he'll pull a
| doughnut around my boat. No Way! says I! No friggin' way will a tree
huggin'
| kayaker doughnut my boat. He says there isn't much I can do about it and
| proceeds to paddle to my bow to cross. I trim in in the sails just as
he's
| across the bow and surge ahead! I hit him just aft of the kayak cockpit
and
| the back end of his kayak goes down hard.... his bow is pointing to the
sky
| when the kayak's buoyancy takes over and shoots him out of the water
like a
| friggin missile!! He lands with his bow down and flips. We were all in
tears
| of laughter watching him struggle to attempt an Eskimo roll. He finally
| bailed and we came about and pulled him out of the water! When he asked
why
| I ran him over I pointed to _his_boss who was aboard and said... just
| following orders! I got him dried off and refreshed his beer. No crying
no
| wailing no sooky, sooky nonsense.
|
| I wonder how many of your girly COLREGS I broke that time! Ha Ha Ha Ha!
