Bile Bill appears to be one of those boaters who thinks might is
right...that whoever has the biggest engine claims 'right of way'.

Its all a matter of perspective. Powerboats doing 30 knots are
looking a mile ahead, and since that's only 120 seconds of their time,
they assume that the relationships are fixed at that point. The
sailors doing 4 knots are only looking 200 yards ahead and never see
the powerboat. Bill keeps talking about the other boat turning 15
feet in front of him, but doesn't consider that when the turn started
he was probably a half mile away.
