We have enjoyed spectating...from a mooring ball at a safe distance to the action! And a painkiller or two close at hand...Goes without saying.

Have also crossed their route in the SFD under sail and enjoyed the rascals hooning past at close quarters. With much hooting, hollering and other such joyful acknowledgements of one another.

Just a bit of fun really!

Personally I wouldn't change my itinerary to be near them...or to avoid them. If they're there...then bit of fun. If not...no great loss!
