Really? When does "catching up" not mean that?

No.

Doesn't "catching up" imply that there's a situation
developing?

And without knowing the speed of the two boats, this

is
a
dumb question.

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....
