Sailboats on the other hand... well that's a sad story. When they become
becalmed or lose sail they lose all navigational abilities (short of firing
up their engines.. if they have them). They're nothing more than floating
buoys at the whim and will of the currents. And that's why, on a sadly
regular basis, they block navigation channels, run into piers and moorings,
and go aground. And that's also why I spend a substantial portion of my
boating season tugging these poor guys around the lake.... with my lowly
PWC.
Yeah, it's a sad story not being in such a god damn hurry that we're
willing to run over people or hit other boats just because we're late
for the next episode of Smack Down.
After all... we're all BOATERS... and it's the right thing to do.
We are. You guys are just another hazard on the water.
