I don't know if this article has been posted here yet but it's pretty
amazing. This guy tried to sail across a channel between a submarine
and a warship and didn't make it. The picture is pretty incredible.

Locally, we get a lot of sailboarders going back and forth by the Golden
Gate Bridge. Very fast boards. One of the local guys test driving a boat
was hit by one. They say him at the last moment as he jumped from the board
and hit the side of the sportfisherman about 1/3 the way from the back.
This guy was the overtaking boat, so was his fault. Lucky for him, he was
seen and heard at the last second and they pulled back the throttles turning
23" props.
