One of the more interesting experiences this summer. . . we were sailing
north in Little Egg Harbor, as a "swarm" of butterflies (30 boats?) was
reaching across the channel (heading east), back to their dock to end their
lesson. Each boat had a kid at the tiller, each kid had a "Holy Sh*t" look
on his/her face, as they seemed completely unsure of what to do next. Each
kid made the determination to do absolutely nothing, and to allow me to
figure out how to avoid colliding with any and all of them. Fortunately the
wind was kind enough to allow me to wind my way slowly and cautiously
through the array, giving me a chance to greet and speak (very briefly) with
many of the young sailors. It was one of the coolest experiences of the
season.
