What an idiot, you'd think he'd have the sense to turn autopilot off coming in to an area with as much boat traffic! What a DUMBO!!

That is way too close for comfort. I have a feeling we may see this kind of thing happen hear with everyone forced to fish in a smaller area. Thank God he lived to tell the story.

Wow scary stuff,
I know we all look out for boat traffic and look out for one another,
this shows just how important it is...

Jim my last two times out on San Diego bay out of Shelter Island I have almost been run over by rich snobs on their Sail boat practicing for some race. 1 guy didn't even see me until I blew my whistle at him, and the other guy made a comment of, "I bet you get people buzzing by you all the time." Are people really that stupid? I already know the answer to that question. It may be time to start recording boat reg. numbers a reporting some of these jokes.
