StormJib said:
The degree of danger that is posed to your hull by a lee shore is directly proportional to the force of the wind and current that is pushing you toward it. If you misjudge this force and then lose power/control, you can be on the lee shore faster than you can anchor your boat.
Considering the inherent dangers of lee shores, a prudent skipper should never approach a lee shore closer than one-quarter mile, even in calm conditions, with greater distances recommended as the wind speed increases.
Plagiarism is still defined as the passing off of another's ideas or words as one's own. Taken virtually verbatim from the article: "Lee Shores Present a Danger" at safesea.com, without quotes or attribution. Not cool.
