Rogue Wave

The Rogue Wave Sailors joined us for a daysail off Oxnard. Led by Ferne Ross (to Capt. Dan’s right), they enjoyed mild conditions, got a chance to drive Sancerre, our Jeanneau 45.2 and reviewed Rules of the Road. Though tempted to discuss the racing rules, which are different (far more detailed) from the International Rules, they worked on mastering the the intricacies of Stand-On and Give-way.

“But why, oh why is the vessel on starboard tack the Stand-On?”

Right off the bat, logic breaks down and the inevitable answer is that it’s arbitrary. As one of my shipmates – Jim Julian gets credit – once said: “Never associate logic with the Navy.”

Keep that in mind and the seeming inconsistencies won’t keep you up at night.

    Thanks Capt. Dan for the wonderful sail. Sancerre is absolutely gorgeous. We have many pictures of the afternoon sail on our meet up site Rogue Wave Sailors.
    Love the blogs, too.

    Rogue Wave Sailors had a most amazing time. Thank you for your hospitality, for letting the ladies crew and helm Sancerre and your wonderful, easy-going demeanor onboard. You are my idea of a great Captain for pleasure cruising.

    Thanks, Ferne. We’ll set up another trip in July, probably on Wiley, my Catalina.
