That said, it does matter to avoid endangering other vessels and putting ourselves at risk. Happily it hasn't come to that yet.

I might like that. But in order to enjoy that kind of sailing, I hardly need to remain a yacht owner.Doc Häagen-Dazshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577427442824705257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018205427973265951.post-85738374449567745722014-07-11T06:42:15.811-07:002014-07-11T06:42:15.811-07:00Raming a docked boat one day and crashing a mark t...Raming a docked boat one day and crashing a mark the next.

The effects of errors are cumulative during the course of a race. Every desperate effort to compensate just insures additional miscues and a greater accumulation of losses. The only compensation you can hope for comes from the errors of others. Doc Häagen-Dazshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577427442824705257noreply@blogger.com
