Default Colregs Questions; BORING!

True. And more welcome than political talk or motor talk. But seriously. That poor guy
probably wouldn't have time to get away even if he was looking right at the hawser when it
parted.

Chatting *fantasy* maybe could prepare you for real life, couldn't it. I do have a boat and I do sail.


Cheers,
