Default Ferry encounter

Roger, despite what the others have said so far, Don and Tom, there are
no special rules that I'm aware of regarding ferries. There are some for
approaching large vessels, but I can't see how they would apply to a
ferry that can have twice or three times your speed on open water. If
there are, I'd love to see a link.


I looked on the Washington State ferry system web site but couldn't find
anything. I've emailed them to ask about it, and I'll post their response
when I hear from them.

Tom,

I've been looking on the CG site also, but can't find anything. But, you
never know of course. I know I have to stay a bit further away from
military, cruise liners, tankers, etc. But, why the heck would I want to be
close to those...
