I've notice a few recent sailing entries at this DoItYourself.com site which is kind of funny with all the solo sailing stuff in the news these days.
"Sailing enthusiasts know that there is a code of conduct that all sailors must abide by to maintain order between sailboats and to exhibit stewardship of the world’s waterways. This is known as sailing etiquette. Just like on a golf course where participants modify their attitude and behavior to a standard, while sailing, skippers and crewmembers have an obligation to fulfill certain tasks and follow both written and unwritten rules. Etiquette while sailing includes the laws of the sea, but it is not limited to that. Proper etiquette equally involves courteousness and goodwill to fellow sailors and other boaters as well as a general standard of stewardship."
Yesterday I found an article come across the wire about "How to Heave To" Hopefully people are not reading this while sailing near Chinese freighters.
