I strongly believe that the number of boats on the water was not the issue.

This situation could have easily happened with just two boats on the water.

If the number of boats on the water had been the issue, there would have been more than just two boats involved.

As for the comment on the fog - you have a choice whether or not to enter that fog. The tournament directors are not there to make that decision for you. They simply tell you when you can leave, when to be back, and how much your fish weigh....that is it. You are the one in control of your safety on the water, and you make the decisions out there, not them.
