ocean crusing & anti collision tactics....
Denis....damm...that was close..nice to hear the
wake or displacement pushed you to the side !! I would be a singlehanded 38 foot sailboat...doing the SF Bay to Hawaii and onto NZ or Perth...so...i would be in open ocean most of the time....not being able to post 24 hr watches, I would be dependent on radar and electrical devices to alarm me.......And pure lick, of course...... "I had no time to pray. The bow of the container ship was right on my stern. As I saw the bulbous of the ship the wake pushed my little sailboat aside and the 6 - 7 current took me away from the freeboard of the ship. I still think it was a miracle......" |
