Uhh. . . Really?

The annual Cowes Week is a bit off our normal beat, but we couldn’t resist sharing this jaw-dropping video with you, which seems to illustrate an over-abundance of wishful thinking. Did crewmen aboard the sloop Atalanta really think they could make it past the supertanker’s bow in time? Were they pushing their perceived right of way? Or did they simply not see this bright red, 870-ft long vessel bearing down on them?

Thankfully, all nine crewmen survived the collision and subsequent dismasting — although two were launched overboard and one had to be hospitalized.

In any case, the clip presents a fine opportunity for us to tap your creativity: Email us your best caption of headline for this video. If your witty line is chosen as our favorite, you’ll earn some official Latitude 38 swag.
