Rick / Mike:
I think we have an over zealous 'Pilot'. Last Summer, I witnessed
something quite unusual.....an out going 'pilot boat' around the Point
Pleasant Shoal mark turned around and blasted a sail boat in the path of
an outgoing container vessel which was still back by George's Island.
In no way was the sail boat going to impede the container
vessel.....there was plenty of time and plenty of room for there to be
no issue.
Nevertheless, the 'Pilot', in my opinion, was harassing the sail boat.
Mike, on the other hand, some years back, a sailor from our club with a
Tanzer 26 actually broadsided a container ship in the same Point
Pleasant shoal area during a Wednesday night race. Yep, it's not BS, I
personally witnessed it and could not believe it actually happened.
Needed to say, the Harbor Master sent our club a nasty letter and
restricted out Wednesday night racing to the far west side of the harbor
for the remained of the season. Hopefully, the Harbor Master won't be
involved with last night's situation.

Mike,
We heard that from our side of the harbour.
Were boats actually in the way of the container ship or was the pilot
boat overreacting again.
He must have given you guys the /five toot salute/ at least four times.

It seems that Pilot boats use horn signals and that Container ships
trump all vessels.
Last evening during a Wednesday race with 30+ sailboats in varying
classes in light winds the Pilot boat leaving the harbour stopped mid
fleet turned backwards and repeatedly sounded their horn for a period
of minutes. Have never seen that before. I suspect is also not the
last we will hear of this.
I doubt the pilot boat or ship would have had any patience with stand
up paddle boarders either as we clearly know who is on the top of the
heap in ROW discussions!

I took all the coast guard and power squadron courses and learned all
the regs and rules and horn signals and flag signals and right o way
stuff. What I learned from 35 years of observation is; nobody uses
horn signals or flag signals and lawyers have the right of way, so
never invoke right of way unless you are racing, always take steps to
avoid collisions early, and don't ever hit a lawyer.

It seems to me that there are a number of people on this list who
don't know the rules. Perhaps it's time to read Chapman's "Piloting,
Seamanship and Small Boat Handling". The pecking order is: rowboats
(including kayaks, canoes, paddle boards), sailboats, powerboats.
Then there are exceptions: tug pulling a barge moves up the pecking
order; overtaking boat moves down the pecking order and I'm sure there
are more.
