Dangerous mega yacht warning for Maine

Roger, with all due respect, a large wake should be regarded as just another wave in a seaworthy and decent sized boat such as yours. It is unreasonable to expect people to slow down except in a confined area where you could lose control. With regard to the right of way situation, did you sound a danger signal or attempt contact on channel 13 or 16? That is the proper course of action, preferably before the situation becomes critical. Even though you had the right of way it would have been prudent to have hailed him and proposed a "two whistle" pass. Most larger boats will assume "one whistle" in the absence of some other arrangement. Almost all boats of that size are piloted by professionals and will respond positively to requests presented in a professional manner. |
