Well, true, but she did say catching up, and I took that
to mean a possible
collision. The overtaken needs to hold his course. The one
overtaking needs
to change course, slow down, whatever.

How do you figure? If one boat is being overtaken, in
this scenario,
that's pretty much the end of the story. Speed isn't an
issue.
because if the speeds were such one could conceivably
pass by the other
without any course adjustments being needed....
I said that....
