Sorry. I though you had at least a passing understanding of the

They can't make you go one the rocks (Rule 2, I guess). If it was
normal for sailboats to go in that channel with the engine running,
only a fool would assume that kids would appreciate that your's was
dead (Rule 2, "neglect of any precaution").


Please refresh my memory, Jeff. I've seen the term "Right of Way" in the Inland
rules, and in the Connecticut Automobile Drivers handbook. How does it apply to
the Colregs?

As I said, "simple terms." Frank doesn't seem ready for "standon" and
"giveway."
