I don’t think it is Bernoulli’s effect, but I know from experience that if two vessels, voyaging on the open ocean, are within a few miles of each other, somehow they will end up at the same place at the same time unless one alters course. Obviously this does not happen all the time, but it seems to happen way more than the odds would predict.
