One problem now is that while in the "old days" (before low cost radar and loran/gps) the only fools out in the pea soup were being ultra cautious, tooting horns, going slow etc, nowadays every rich bozo thinks he can run his sportfish at 30 knots because the radar and GPS will keep him safe. Back in the 80s a friend of mine was bringing a new (to him) 40 ft sailboat back from Canada in the fog. He was T-boned by a tug boat operated by the Canadian coast guard even though both boats were operating their radar and were aware of each other's presence. Go figure. |
