He has as much right to be on the water as I do in my powerboat. I have the added responsibilities of extra vigilance and keeping watch due to my speed when on plane.

His point is they were not doing anything wrong but you still have to be vigilant. A single light at night, especially higher up can be easy to miss. If someone came tooling along at even 30mph and wasn't paying close attention we could have had a repeat of Meredith.
