What are "the COLREGS" ??????
For a liveaboard you seem awfully anal & uptight
You guys and your petty little discussions regarding a set of rules that in
your cases is not enforceable, carries almost no weight in court and is
subject to wide interpretation... well it's so darn amusing!
Here's a friggin hint..... It's a big ocean and you're on a very little
boat.... stay the **** out of the way of everything bigger and faster. Leave
the rules to the racers, professionals and their vessels.
Do you really think I give a **** about who is to windward and who is
burdened if I'm being overtaken?? Nothing is more comical and dangerous than
a sailboat assuming right of way over a larger commercial vessel. If it's
another sailboat I'll give all the room I can.... If it's a bigger boat or
power vessel I'll provide as much room as they need. I cruise.... I'm never
in a rush... even the odd time I race.
Plus my vessel is armed to the teeth with water balloon launchers..... I
got one that has a 200 yard range!! Imagine the havoc a gas filled balloon
and a flare gun could create! :-)

I can't help but notice how our part-time Canadian sailor is too
chicken to answer the COLREGs questions.
