Caption Contest(!)
Welcome to Latitude 38‘s World-Famous Caption Contest(!). This month’s photo comes by way of our crew, while enjoying a casual sail on the Bay. No, this is not them playing chicken with the cruise ship. It is, of course, likely that the sailboat in the photo wasn’t in direct danger of being slammed. But from this angle, it looks like a dicey situation. We hope the sailors’ hearing is OK!

Whew. Looked like the kiss of death there for a while.
The view from the port side rail was beautiful and uncluttered, as the sailboat crew discussed where to go for dinner. One minute later, nobody was hungry.
I perpetually love the excitement of 5 blasts on the big ships horn
Hey Captain, my rule book says we are a sailing vessel underway on starboard tack and we have the right way over powered vessels. Hold your course!
Hang on – we’re ridin’ the wake to the bridge!

Dum Dumb di Dumb Dumb… Dumb!!!!
For all those who assume sailboats have right-of-way over powered water-craft.
I had no idea what he meant when he said, “Let’s go on a cruise ship. “
“This is the Captain speaking, for those of you on the starboard side of the ship, if you look out, you will see a dumb ass.”
“Let’s sneak up and photobomb ‘em!”
