didn't say anything, but my wife laughing at him did not improve his temper.

I wonder how long it took him to learn his lesson, and if he ran down
any smaller vessels in the process.

I know of several sailboat collisions on Long Island Sound where at
least one of the boats was on autopilot. One resulted in the fatality
of a well known racing skipper several years ago. In his case the
"autopilot" boat was an older yacht under power at night, and his
sailboat which sank, was also under power with inexperienced watch
standers on deck.
