Perhaps you don't understand the situation we were discussing. I sent a
message last night or this morning describing it last describing it in more
detail.
Essentially, because of the non-communications of the tug, the sailboat was
put in a very awkward position of not knowing which way to dodge. The
sailboat was the carry-on vessel. If he turned right he would be attempting
to go in front of the approaching tug. If he turned left he would have ended
up right in the path of the tug after it made its right turn.
