No kidding?? Yes, I happen to know that Dr. S. Did you see the post
from him about doing 25MPH 15 FEET from another boat?


Happens all the time in narrow channels.

Are you Crazy??? Please tell us which waterway its customary to do 25
mph within 15 feet of another vessel underway. I've seen pwc's do
this, but that could explain why they are reviled by most other boaters.


And if they are all going in the
same direction, there is no problem. It is when an idiot like you decides
that the world revolves around you and can change direction on a whim. You
do this on the freeway also? How about in the 25 mph zone. You change
lanes on a whim? On your bicycle you change lanes on a whim?

Bad analogy, Bill. On the highway everyone has the same purpose, and
traveling in a consistent manner serves the collective purpose.
Boaters have to remember that every other boater has a different
agenda and is seeing the world in a different way. When that sailboat
started preparing to turn you were half a mile away, possibly even on
a different course. Your insistence that he turned 15 feet in front
of you simply proves that that you're the one who was cluelessly
assuming that the world revolves around your desires.
