Here's a new experience, just when you think you've already seen it
all. Sunday afternoon we were traveling south on Florida's relatively narrow, west coast Intracoastal Waterway. Traffic was relatively heavy in both directions and since we were headed south, favored the western (our right) side of the channel. At one point we noticed a good sized motor yacht heading north about half a mile away. At first he appeared to be heading to our side so we prepared to move left and let him go to our starboard. As we moved left he moved back to the center and then towards us again. We were closing at a combined speed over 20 kts and I was preparing to sound the danger signal on the horn as we moved right once again. At the last minute the oncoming boat moved back to his right for a conventional port-to-port pass. As the boat went by, the only person visible anywhere was sitting on the foredeck, apparently operating a remote control device for the autopilot. He waved, but we did not reciprocate. Just when you think you've already seen it all... |
