Good point Gary. The original post talks about "returning back in" and
"hopeing to clear" Ram Island and being in the Portland Main area. I see a
Ram Island just inside the COLREG line on the approach to Portland. It
seems likely that COLREGS probably applied to the situation.

So, where is the demarcation line for where the "inland rules start and
the Colregs end?

Which rules did apply in this case and does it make a difference?
