Perhaps he didn't like the look of Cementa?

Because it's courteous to do so. Racing boats obviously feel that "courtesy" demands that ordinary sailors should give way. I do both cruising AND racing. When cruising, I've noticed that racers often don't offer their gratitude to a cruiser that doesn't give them "enough" exemption from the Coll Regs. Pommy Pricks! Still do you demand that every time you extend a courtesy to someone that they exhibit overwhelming gratitude? A couple of years ago, I was on a friend's power boat. We were travelling from Southampton to Portsmouth when we came upon a yacht race. The yachts were spread out across the full width of the Solent. As we carefully went through a gap, we were given a filthy look by the helmsman of the boat that we had passed *behind*! Sod it! These idiots think that "racing" gives them exclusive control of the water. It doesn't. Regards Donal -- |
