Default Sailboat-Tugboat Right of Way

Nowhere does the article report anything you state it does after the "under
power". In fact, the author seems to think that the tugboat captain acted
with great professionalism and even courage. I'm sure David Taylor would be
no more amused at your putting words into his mouth and attributing such
thoughts to him without basis than I was when you did it to me. I'll find
out the next time I see him.

Coastal Pilot says you use everything you have (including radio) to
avoid collision circumstances.

Ok, so you guys read charts.
Anybody EVER refer to the Coastal Pilot?

Just curious...
