Perhaps the CG vessel was on a mission, but that doesn't excuse running into
another boat. It seems pretty obvious that the CG could have avoided the
collision. Another few seconds would have been the entire delay. Yelling at
another speedboat gets you nothing.

Pathetic! Where was the horn - the five short blast danger signal?

What is pathetic is your understanding of the Rules of the Road.
Everyone knows, except you obviously, that an enforcment vessel has a
"de facto" right of way while conducting an enforment mission. I cant
belive you dont know that since you are such a self elavated sailing
expert.

I hope someday you will become as skilled as I am. When I was running
crew boats I would have kicked a deck hand off for being twice as
smart as you are.
