Actually, Ozzy....this little troll arouse out of a discussion with a
42 year cruising veteran while sailing his Tartan 37 last week at
night. He had owned a Cape Dory 33 that collided with a half sunk
finger pier that had broken off somewhere...caught some serious damage.
Sailing at night and alone, there was very little he could have done to
avoid it, UNLESS he was standing on the sprit with a 30'000 watt light!


It was a half moon on August 31st when you had your imaginary collision.

I was also quite surprised that you were standing on the cabin top and
struck an
object while you were going 7 knots, and you were not thrown off the boat.
NO
mention of PFD or being tied in? You were single handing at night without
a PFD
and tether?

When you heard screaming and felt it neccesary to climb onto the cabin top
to
investigate, why were you still going full speed?

There were errors in almost every sentence you wrote. NOt just errors of
what
you did wrong, but errors that made the whole account suspect.
