Joe, Best I’ve done is about 12 knots in an Open 60 (Queen Margaret I think) coming Bank north on the bay after a Governor’s Cup race a number of years ago. The best part of the ride was feeling her suddenly go from 5-6 it’s. to 12. I swear she started to plane.

He was going “between the ships” until I asked him why we were doing a kamikaze attack on a ship! Subs are really bad at night. I came across an anchored sub in the dark. They are very low in the water, pitch black, and have one anchor light on the conning tower and one on the stern on top of the rudder. It really looks like two separate boats to the point the Navy had to have a RIB run abound it in circles to keep people away from it.

There were several incidents around Tokyo Bay where small coastal freighters thought that, because the masthead and bow lights were so far apart, the tankers were two separate ships and tried to go between the lights. Wasn't long before the tankers started hanging strings of lights down the sides of the ship to show that they were one ship. Of course, then they looked like a lighted bridge. If you are unfamiliar with navigation light patterns, here's a test: http://www.usboating.com/testlights.asp<https://protect2.fireeye.com/v1/url?k=1f95afe7-4303fe42-1f958690-0cc47adc5e34-d90d2bfdd917d2db&q=1&e=e4917106-6848-4eba-a060-79a95fc65954&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usboating.com%2Ftestlights.asp> Even if you think you know, it's a good refresher. I always miss several. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
