Cowes week collision video

Dramatic video has emerged of the collision between a yacht racing in Cowes week and an oil tanker somewhere in the Solent yesterday. Luckily it seems no one was hurt but that must surely be a close shave.

You can watch it on the BBC web site here.

Yes, indeed.

The skipper was definitely not Barack Obama: he's not nearly aggressive and reckless enough. Has to be a Tea-Partier!

Doc - interesting idea. Could one say that an Obama yacht would always sail downwind while the Tea Partier would select a direction to sail and then go below decks to make some tea ignoring reality around them?

Golly, must try not to be political or anything.

Politics only ends at the water's edge. I happened to be ashore when I wrote my comment above.
