Hasn't anyone told you that "might Makes Right"? It is just downright criminal how so many of us small boat sailors are out there every day getting in the way of powerboats. What right do we have in a crowded channel at a mere 5 knots when there is a boat behind us "needing" to travel at 40 knots on autopilot while mixing martinis for his friends? Shame, shame on us.
