That couple look way too relaxed and unconcerned, I assume this is a photo shop event

Difficult to photoshop the Star of India’s dock line draped over the forestay of Knot Again. They obviously just wanted to nose in to perhaps drop someone off and couldn’t see up because of the bimini. What kind of a boat has a bowsprit, anyway? Or maybe they needed to install chafing boots on the ends of the spreaders and didn’t want to have to climb the mast. They’re at least 20’ from the bigger ship. Bow and stern thrusters for 30 seconds, and they’re all clear!

I think the OP was crew on the Star of India, said there was good current running when KA was backing out, lost control and ended up there. I can see that happening......

Looks like the Star of India has speared a sail boat. I can hear the bosun now... Skipper, Can I keep her, Please?

After getting raw fingers from splicing new mooring bridles this week, I expected this thread to be about knots. :what:

When those tall ships are dressed, there is sometimes a weighted line with signal flags on it hanging from the bow sprit. That might have come in handy here!;)

Looks like the tall ship Elissa out of Galveston and the docks in the background are the cruise ship terminals there.

When you find a dolphin striker hanging over your head like the sword of Damocles, it's time to rethink your choices.

So no pot involved. In Texas, must have been tequila or 3.2 beer.
