Was it one of those obnoxious things running open exhaust? If so, you
should have open fired as soon as they were in range. I hate those
idiots!

I do have a 10ga. signal cannon, but thought better of using it. :-)

In all honesty, I'm a boater, not just a sailor. I love all boats, power,
sail, self-powered, etc. I also happen to like go-fast boats, even though
I'd never own one for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that
they get boring very quickly and burn huge amounts of fuel. I've crewed (as
the throttle man) on a 42' Fountain in several races--grueling half hour of
pounding and noise, but fun.
