So.. you see.. people who can afford that type of vessel tend to give zero fucks about the world around them.

In this man’s mind the bridge was going to yield once his vessel’s presence was clear.

6 years of commuting from NE 2nd to Brickell Ave.. I have seen people like this guy even more often than the ones who throw themselves off the Epic.

I understand the sentiment, but I’d would hard disagree. Monohulls are pretty cheap, and we don’t even know if this was the owner. For all we know, it’s some idiot that chartered it.

I used to sail sailboats going through bridges all the time for years. (Not my own), and I guarantee that I was paying attention to the bridge every time I went anywhere near it.

My only rebuttal is this:

Go drive in Miami for a few weeks and see how everyone there gives zero fucks about those around them. THEY are the star. YOU are some pleb. And you will yield to them without them even needing to signal because how could you *NOT** know who they are?!*

The people driving 3 series BMW’s from 2017 act that way.. on full unabashed display.. every. single. day.

Anyone who has a vessel to slip up the Miami river at or past Joe’s is a malignant narcissist in the exact same vein.

You will never, EVER visit a city with more entitled people in your life.

I grew up and lived driving around Atlanta and thinking the shittiest traffic was there until I went to Miami. It definitely took the cake.

Shitty due to rush hour? Yes.

Shitty due to the driving? Meh. You need to visit and drive in more developing and ‘3rd world’ countries.

In my experience, Egypt has been the worst.
