One thing that never ceases to amaze me, while (as the overtaken vessel) I maintain course and speed and some idiot blows by close enough to pass the Grey Poupon, is that after overwhelming your vessel with a steep wake and passing so close that there is insufficient time to safely adjust course and minimize the impact......almost every one of these nincompoops smiles and *waves*! Like, "Hello, how are you? My thoughtless seamanship just stood you on your starboard beam, but lovely weather we're having, isn't it?" To reduce my blood pressure, I often think of what it's costing Captain Clewless to burn 60 gph gasoline these days. :-) Sounds like a good use for those expired flares. :-) |
