Is it me, or what??
Hey guys, warning, this is just a venting post... I was trolling up in the Patapsco this morning.. ( lots of shorts, no keepers).. I was way out of the channel, a 45-50ft searay type boat approached from my port, at probably wot...I counter maneuvered, he changed course, I again counter maneuvered.. I had to make a fast, emergency change of course, and was only able to avoid a collision by no more than 5ft.. I really thought that he had to be aiming for me, on purpose.. I was a nanosecond away from making his day go very bad, when I saw his face, he was total oblivious to his surroundings... Until that point, I honestly, whole heartedly, believed it had to be intentional... I am very attentive to my surroundings, at all times, and give everyone the righ of way... I just can't understand how someone can operate a boat, and be totally clueless...
Joe...
