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.

Common occurrence, sadly. I have all but given up wondering what these boneheads are about...I call it blissful ignorance. Weekends and holidays bring them out in force but unfortunately, they are present during the week too.
