I am not sure how many poker runs you have attended but the cross wakes when mixed with step bottom boats can cause a change in direction with a moments notice. Mix that in with some unpredicatble water. To date I have never been reported to the Coast Guard for unsafe operation.
And pulling back on the throttle would have got me run over by the boat behind me in those conditions.

As for the sailboat tacking in the channel, guess my thought is that should have been noticed by looking ahead of your current line.
I am not, nor want to, question anyones reason of manuaver, just stating opion that others watching 'may' think what I did. And those that are not boaters will interpret it with a much higher disrespect then anyone on this board will, including me.
Enough said I think, and hope.

Guess my entire thought was that I feel this segment should not be shown to hte public eye on the TV show. They too might get the wrong impression and think you cut them on purpose.
