Yeah yeah... it was a screw up but I was trying to get out of there. A simple "dude, whats up? Ya can't be doing that!!"
I was thinking the wind is coming from the "windward" side of the line when I think it was 45 or maybe more off.
With the level of commentary from the other boat (I think I know who it was.. wasn't you though, I don't think <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> ) you would think that they thought I was doing it on purpose and sitting there for the fun of it.
If I were the other boat and saw someone like that I would say, if anything at all, something like "ya can't be there" or something like that. But it is, in the end, something that could turn people off to racing.
