    Wow

    Talk about not paying attention.

    The larger vessel appears to be at fault for not giving way to a vessel crossing its bow from the starboard approach. It should have altered course to starboard and passed behind the smaller boat.

    But a study of the wake of the smaller vessel suggests it was slowly turning into the larger vessel.

    The large vessel was the main culprit but the smaller boat was contributory.

    What do others think?

    The right away

    is obviouisly with the smaller vessle, How ever neither took evasive action as would the respsonsibilty of both skippers, espcially with the documented good vis...
