Fw: Charter boat

I can't remember if this message from Kurt Ford (CCCCC) has made it to this list yet, but it's a good reminder about how important it is to remain vigilant, especially when on auto-pilot. Fin.

How'd you like to be that guy on the bow?

My former partner ran his Uniflite 31 into a freighter at night about 60 miles west of San Diego. They were going albacore fishing and his son and one boat partner were on watch. They saw the freighter and had it on radar but the radar was flipped to close range when they thought it was on long range, plus the freighter was smaller than they realized. They hit it at 20 knots near the bow and smashed the Uniflite's bow back to the foredeck hatch. The freighter never even slowed down. Fortunately, Uniflites are well made and they backed the boat to San Diego at about 6 knots. At night, it can be difficult to estimate range. Also, my partner had a history of being a bit casual about boat safety. He and his wife were asleep in the vee berth when they hit. Nobody was injured but it was pretty frightening for a while. He had been involved with boats since working as a deck hand on fishing boats as a kid but he was accident prone. A few years later, when he had a gas powered power boat, it blew up in his face and sent him to a burn unit. He had sold his interest in the Uniflite because he was annoyed with the boat partner who had been on watch when they hit the freighter. He and his son, now also a surgeon, have a big power boat together. I haven't heard any accident stories so maybe they are more careful, now.
