MrKim, I don't recall saying I hate anybody and a lot of my remarks were in jest but maybe that didn't come out like I wanted it to. I do believe I have said I commend some of the operators that actually power down until they are by which is great and how it should be. I'm also a great believer in the laws of gross tonage. While I might have right of way over a barge full of coal I'm not about to be stupid enough to put my life on the line to show that I do. I'm sure there are jerks in sailboats as well as powerboats which I hate just as much because it makes us look bad. But my problem is the lack of consideration that I have seen on the part of a good majority of the powerboat community in my sailing waters here in Northwest Florida. I do wish this wasn't the case but like you said this ain't a perfect world, if it was we would all be powered by the wind But seriously, if everybody would show common courtesy we all could enjoy ourselves on the water.
