Were you in D7 at all? That’s where I learned the rule of inverse proportions on yacht value vs. seamanship.

I was in Steadfast as a cadet in 87, then I was in Polar Star in 88, Bear in 91.

Nope, all D1. Yeah, us enlisted call it the law of big boats. The bigger the boat, the more right of way you have.

This past weekend, i was taking a high speed ferry to Block Island, and it had to do a harsh evasive manuever around a stupid sailboat who got a long blast of the horn. I’m sure passengers were throwing stuff at the sailboat, but i’ll never testify!
