Dangerous mega yacht warning for Maine
"Wayne.B" wrote
been a freighter instead of a mega yacht, how would you view the
situation in that case? Neither will turn or stop on a dime.
"turn or stop on a dime" is an inapplicable exaggeration that confuses
the issue in this case. Even a freighter could have made the 1 degree
course change (with the nearest obstruction in that direction a place
where they don't speak English) that would have resolved this
situation without radio chatter. At 160 feet, this vessel could have
done circles around me if they wanted to take a close look.
