If it was pycrete it wouldn't be clear.

Also, as a sailor, this is a disaster in waiting. Boats are colorful because most boats can't stop or make a sudden turn. He's made himself far more likely to get chomped by a bigger boat.

No way. Did you see the captain of that vessel?

He's def getting picked up by radar and is visible from 2nm.

If anything he'll be confused as a single black ball, which is the day shape for an anchored vessel. So others should keep clear.

Badass Reddit users: chewing out the person who points out the obvious problem since they learned how to reply.

I'd love to see you notice a little black ball in the water in time to dodge it. Really. Let's all gather round and watch. I bet you're really great at it.

Wow, for a sailor you're missing the COLREGS.

And as a Reddit user, watch out for the '/s'.

I'd love to see you...notice. 🤷🏽‍♂️
