Spoken like someone who has done little if any sailing or even
motoring at night......Sorry Bob


Sorry, Ozzy. But anyone who spoke of "keeping a proper watch" on the
LIS in the conditions I described is a fool.
Absolutely no one sails with a high power spotlight blaring off the bow
at night in such a fashion that they could avoid such an accident. NO
ONE. And certainly not singlehanding. We have sailing vessels from all
over the world passing through the LIS at night and I've rarely, IF
EVER, saw one with a big light shining off the bow looking for
semi-submerged objects.
I've exposed the so-called sailors here once again.


No, really, I have.
