But I was sailing and on a starboard tack....... looks like they got lucky and only lost a mast.
Ouch.... the fine was $128K in dollars.
I must be a coward but I'd never sail in front of something that large.
Yep, that's it Coward! Besides being a coward (like me) it's illegal. I guess if you're a Leutenant in the Royal Navy you always have right of way. What a Royal idiot. There's no excuse fathomable for getting that close to a restricted manuverability vessel in a narrow channel...and I don't give a crap if you're "racing".
Yes it was, the boat is/ was a test boat. But sure is a graphic example of the dangers of propane.
This is the reef that protects the cove in St. Vincent's where Barefoot Boats and Sunsail have their charter bases. Our Sunsail boat was being piloted in by an employee for this very reason, the channel is very narrow and way off to the side. This guy ignored the rules and thought he knew better. I think alcohol may have bumped up his IQ a little and sharpened his decision-making process. 
I spent 6 months living in the YMCA in 1977. Trust me, it's nothing to sing or dance about.
I'm confused.

Are you speaking of two different boats?
Sorry, I was on a Sunsail charter being piloted back into the cove through the marked channel, the Barefoot Boats charter boat is the one up on the reef. Yes, two different boats.
