Subject: night sailing - too close for comfort.
From: "Jonathan Ganz" Date: 08/16/2004 10:31 Pacific Standard Time Message-id: G I wouldn't have to because I wouldn't get in a collision to begin with because I'd hail them and find out their intentions. Then, of course, just before the collision if you insist that there must be one, I would run below, disconnect the fuel line, and claim that I tried to start the engine but it wouldn't happen, so I tried everything in my power to avoid. The best defense is a good offense. G Ahhhh, but you had the collision. Now it becomes a question of apportioning blame, and since you had the collision, you goofed at some point in the process. Naturally, if you can communicate and everyone understands each others intentions, more often than not the collision will be avoided. It's not a "pure" process, however. Shen |
