Having spent a lot of time sailing, and most if around Europe, upon entering port on my first transatlantic I could not figure out what the hell was going on with the channel markers.
"DNR police cited the skipper, who "claimed to have been blinded by the lights of a sailboat", for negligence, traveling at an unsafe speed, & failure to maintain a proper lookout."
When you rip a 10' gash in your hugely expensive powerboat, it's always nice to get a citation as a souvenir. Just the cherry on top.
