Now Shortwave, you are describing my observations of powerboaters; of
course, I've never used autopilot in my life and still couldn't imagine
taking my eyes off the water around me. I'll meet you half way and offer to
agree that whether under sail or power there are some really senseless
skippers out there that shouldn't be given responsibility for anything more
than a plastic boat for the bathtub.
