: Nick, the point I was trying to make for non-sailors is to be on
: the lookout for sailboats specially in the quarter that it's
: easy to see. I thought this was obvious, apparently not.
: Also worth noting that sailboats often race (official races, not
: just going somewhere quickly) and I've argued forever about it
: but proper watch often isn't kept by racers to keep weight out
: of the bows. (don't yell at me, I've not raced in 30 years)

Oh yeah finish the thought, oops.
If you see a bunch of sailboats, not always going in the same direction btw, but most usually will be, stay out of the way because they are likely preoccupied and won't see you. Some of them btw are very quick and can cover a surprising length of water much faster than you'd think. The little air horns make lots of noise and work great btw as a warning, they may not immediately know who blew the horn but it'll get them looking in a hurry.
