Hells Half Acre. "Beautiful anchorage, blah blah-then it goes on,...
"But the young lobstermen around here are downight obnoxious. Passing by Stonington this afternoon, one boats crew made lewd gestures toward's my wife(any thought as to what the gestures were??).
"Then 30 minutes after setting our anchor here, another boat pulled up alongside us and accused us of stealing lobsters from their trap for no apparent reason other than they didn't find one in their trap. Very strange in a decidedly antisocial way"
Hmmm,... Me thinks there's more to this story. 
I can see one bad apple but two in one day?

- Me too. Sailing will save you. If you can't, just slow down.

- I would like to read the story but I refuse
- That's my point. "of little use" is better

- I don't know that COLREGS have changed but...
- AIS first and maybe foremost
- You can't assume large ships will always show up on AIS
- Turned my radar on today for the first time since the launch day test
- I don't know where you are, but I can tell you this. In the Gulf ICW, beween Galveston Tex and New Orleans La
