I don't what the situation might be where Roger sails.

Well, we don't have anything similar that I'm aware of. With a 1000
yard wide harbor, it would be chaos it we did. There usually is a
boat with a blinking blue light just off the stern of any cruise ships
that are in town (room for one only) but I've never seen them chase
anyone.

There was a lot of amusement a year or so ago when the USCG was
escorting the ferries back and forth. I don't know whether it was the
laughter or the fuel bills that ended that foolishness.
