The sailor made an obscene gesture and shouted epithets at the captain of the larger boat, who responded by swinging his boat around and heading at high speed directly at the sailboat’s bow. The sailor was convinced that the boats would collide, so he steered close to the edge of the channel and abruptly ran aground on a shallow sand bar.
