I had the pleasure of sailing next to Maltese Falcon on 10-8-08 while
it was anchored off of Sausalito, Ca, on San Francisco Bay. You cannot
really sense its size until you sail past her about 20 yrds off. She
is truly a giant of a yacht.

Lance,
Yeeeeeoooouch! It is said that, “Between a car and a train, a tie goes to the train!” If that skipper ever goes to court over this, I hope he enters a plea of “NO CONTEST”, for that is exactly what THAT was. If you ever wanted the perfect illustration of what “Nimrod” means, that is IT! If that skipper ever controls another craft, I hope it is something he is qualified for, like maybe an INNER-TUBE 
As I was looking at all those GREAT pictures, I was doing a little mental math and concluded that had that skipper Come About five seconds sooner he would have gone from the “T Boner” to the
“T Bonee”, in which case, this would no longer be a subject to joke about!
This goes to show that you just can¢t teach Common Sense, either you have it or you don¢t. He doesn¢t!

Ya and I am sure the very next thing said, as the reality of what was about to happen sank in, was the old Tried and True expletive… “OH SH*T!!!”
Has there been any official report as to what that idiot was thinking? I would love to hear HIS excuse for why it was NOT his fault he “T boned” a 285’ SHIP in braod daylight!
