If you are overtaking us it's your responsibility to stay clear.



It is up to you not to make changes in front of another boat! If we

overtaking, the rules say we can expect you to hold course.

Maybe, but if the sailboat's approaching a hazard like a sand bar and
HAS
to
turn, you may have to use common sense and let him do what's
necessary.
The
hell with the law.



We have them turn in front of power boats in the middle of San Francisco
bay. No sandbar for at least 1 mile in any direction. Those who
challenge
the big freighters under the Golden Gate bridge are in 200'+ water.



So, get on the radio and say something to the captain instead of bitching
about it here.



They probably also do not listen to the radio. Sort of like your bitching
here about politics.
