Default Right of Way

I suspect this sailboat captain is rethinking who has the "Right of Way".

The sailboats that show up about halfway through the video look awfully
close to that tanker.

The bigger you are the more right of way you have. Doesn't matter if you
are on the highway or on the water.

Sailboat captain error, plain and simple.

According to the regulation I've read, this is incorrect a lot of the
time.

Wow, glad you can't afford a boat. The least maneuverable boat gets the
right of way. Also, the sailboat broke the first rule, all boaters
should avoid collisions at all costs.

Combine the two above, no way out for the stupid sailboat owner.

About the only way for the sailboat to be not at fault would be if the
sailboat was anchored out of the main channel. Under sail, it is up to
the sailboat to avoid the less maneuverable freighter.

You need to get your reading compression up a bit.

As an allegedly accomplished photographer who claims to have been
published in several magazines (of course while trying to pass an owl
picture off as his own) you should know there is this phenomenon called
"depth-of-field".
