COLREGS- Mooron Style
So I'm sailing along on Yellowknife Bay a few years ago. It's a beautiful
day and a nice steady but light breeze. We're soaking in the sun and slogging back our favourite brew in the cockpit doing about 4.5 knots. We weren't in a hurry and it was hot out. Along comes a buddy of mine... one of my bosses from work in his Kayak. He's taunting us about how he can go faster than we can. I point out that he can't do it while drinking beer.... but he indicates the beer holder sling around his neck. So we all laugh! Then he says he thinks he'll pull a doughnut around my boat. No Way! says I! No friggin' way will a tree huggin' kayaker doughnut my boat. He says there isn't much I can do about it and proceeds to paddle to my bow to cross. I trim in in the sails just as he's across the bow and surge ahead! I hit him just aft of the kayak cockpit and the back end of his kayak goes down hard.... his bow is pointing to the sky when the kayak's buoyancy takes over and shoots him out of the water like a friggin missile!! He lands with his bow down and flips. We were all in tears of laughter watching him struggle to attempt an Eskimo roll. He finally bailed and we came about and pulled him out of the water! When he asked why I ran him over I pointed to _his_boss who was aboard and said... just following orders! I got him dried off and refreshed his beer. No crying no wailing no sooky, sooky nonsense. I wonder how many of your girly COLREGS I broke that time! Ha Ha Ha Ha! CM |

I take it you are referring to the kayaker? He still talks about the
incident and brags about being run down by a rogue sailboat at the bar to this day. I'll be having a few beers with him in April when I visit Yellowknife.... I'll pass on your reference to him.

I'm truly sorry you didn't like it MC... was it the lack of compassion or
lack of gun play that was the deciding factor? CM "MC" wrote in message ... | A really dumb story. | | Cheers | | Capt. Mooron wrote: | | So I'm sailing along on Yellowknife Bay a few years ago.
