In this case the shipping channel has been closed to new traffic so. I say the boat has it

irresistible force meet immovable object

Trust me. The object will move when met.
Funny, I took the immovable object as the train and the irresistible force as the boat (the object of most of our obsessions).

It's not often seen that a powerboat driver has taken to heart the suggestion that they need more training.

From Wikipedia.com
"In theatre, a farce is a comedy which aims at entertaining the audience by means of unlikely, extravagant, and improbable situations, disguise and mistaken identity, verbal humor of varying degrees of sophistication, which may include word play, and a fast-paced plot whose speed usually increases, culminating in an ending which often involves an elaborate chase scene. Farces are often highly incomprehensible plot-wise (due to the large number of plot twists and random events that often occur), but viewers are encouraged not to try to follow the plot in order to avoid becoming confused and overwhelmed. Farce is also characterized by physical humor, the use of deliberate absurdity or nonsense, and broadly stylized performances. Farces have been written for the stage and film.".......................and SBO

Although a sailboater, not all the inconsiderate, clueless, or idiots are on powerboats, it only seems that way.

Wasn't Real ................. ? ? ? ?

Ralph,

I feel you REALLY missed the point.
This wasn't real, it was merely humour.
Why get soo uptight dude....???

Sitting at anchor after a long hot day, a couple of gin and tonics, a rum and coke, and a bottle (or two) of wine after dinner and ...............................

I hate to throw a wet blanket on this but it was a result of Sandy. Even I have to feel sorry for the stink boater.
