I'm not saying that there should be mandatory licensing...but every boater, especially one that is handling a lethal weapon, capable of killing quite a few people, because it is moving at 30+ knots without any real effective brakes, should at least have a basic understanding of boating rules of the road and boating ettiquette. A sailboat, doing seven knots is not going to cause that many problems, and isn't anywhere near as hazardous to innocent bystanders as a high-speed powerboat.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
