I don't know. It looks like a typical mid-summer Saturday afternoon
outside of Scituate Harbor, MA.

Don't go anywhere near Annapolis Harbor on a Sunday in the summer. You'll
be run down by sailboters who care not a whit for the rules of the road
or anything else.

At the risk of ****ing off any resident blow boaters, I have to agree
100%. Why, when they have power, do they insist on sailing all the way
down a crowded, busy, narrow harbor channel, tacking back and forth within
40-50 feet? Even at 5 knots, my Navigator won't stop on a dime to avoid
them when they suddenly decide to tack to port from the other side of the
channel.

The only time I would sail a narrow channel would be under uncrowded
conditions where you would have plenty of room to stay clear of a tacking
sailboat or if I did not have power. I do not find it agreeable to sail
narrow channels when unnecessary due to the overwhelming presence of
examples as illustrated by the video with this topic.
