So im sitting in a room with about 15 other guys. There is a 2M, CM,
3rd engineer, 3 unlimited ocean masters, a 1600, 500 and a couple 200
master guys plus three coasties, and a few ABs.

We were talking about Col Regs. One guy mentioned sailboats and the
room gave a collective groan. Then came the "stupid sailboat" stories.
According to those who make a living on the water by far the biggest
offenders n idiots are recreational sailboat operators.

Just thought Id pass that along for discussion.

What's this? Down the Union Hall there looking for a job?

Engineers are down in the engine room and never see a sail boat, an
Unlimited Tonnage Foreign going Master hob nobbing with a 200 tonner?
And, a few A.B.'s? Com'mon, tell us another one.

It must be that they don't see that many jet skiiers, wake boarders
and tube pullers.
