Joe On starboard tack hove-to, with the helm lashed, I was nearly run over by the schooner Aurora in Newport Harbor. I yelled at the skipper and later when I was on port tack, altered course several times to try and run me down again--failing to maintain his stand-on course. I wrote a formal letter to the USCG and gave the names of witnesses. The USCG gave them a telephone call and a mild slap on the wrist. The USCG officer I spoke to told me they could not take action unless there was in fact a collision. I still have a copy of the original letter. I should post it here. If you ever go to Newport. Don't patronize the Aurora. Bart's just ****ed because the Aurora has lazy jacks rather than that goofy, "Dutchboy" system. They sure wouldn't want black stripes and chafe from cheap plastic fishing lines ruining THOSE sails! http://www.flickr.com/photos/cruadin...7594283171391/ CWM Day-glo orange sails????? tacky...... |
