He passed by me by about one-and-a-half a boat lengths (about 30 feet) from my starboard side, running between me and another boat anchored 50 feet from me. I guess his need to get through the Weirs Channel and into Paugus Bay was far more important than the safety of dozens of boaters.

One has to wonder if this guy even had a clue, or worse, just didn't care.

That’s why we don’t go to the Weirs fireworks. It’s mayhem in the bay and leaving past Eagle.
