LIS Trip Incident
July 6th 2003, sailing across Hempstead Harbor, course 077 Mag near
Matinicock Point, on course for Oyster Bay. Wind West at 8 kn, port tacked, 3.8 kn boat speed. Am being over hauled by a J 44 coming out of Glen cove on a course of 60 Mag at about 4.5 kn. The J 44 pulls along side, about 10 ' off my starboard and sits there for a while as two of the 3 occupants discuss the fine points of my rig among themselves. They then cross my bow, leaving no more than 5' between us. Question: Should I have been greatful that they passed me to starboard and did not blank my wind, or was I justified in throwing a D-cell at the skippers head? |
