COLREGS- Mooron Style
There was no wheel.... it's a stern hung tiller with a Mooron at the helm
not a Neuron at the wheel!
Are you a kayaker??? Ha Ha Ha....

| 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
| | day and a nice steady but light breeze. We're soaking in the sun and
| | slogging back our favourite brew in the cockpit doing about 4.5
knots.
| We
| | weren't in a hurry and it was hot out.
| |
| | Along comes a buddy of mine... one of my bosses from work in his
Kayak.
| He's
| | taunting us about how he can go faster than we can. I point out that
he
| | 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!
