Yeah, so? What's your point? I know the regs and clearly you can quote
them. What are you trying to tell us here?

That you are an idiot.

Ah, a name caller. Well, ok then. You sure won that argument on the
merits.

No, just stating the obvious.

Yes, it's quite obvious what you are and why you're doing
it... PWCER!!!!

Happens all the time in narrow channels. And if they are all going in the
same direction, there is no problem. It is when an idiot like you decides
that the world revolves around you and can change direction on a whim. You
do this on the freeway also? How about in the 25 mph zone. You change
lanes on a whim? On your bicycle you change lanes on a whim?

Bzzzzt. The tanker will not be damanged.

Bzzzzt. The tanker will not leave the channel.

Bill... who has stand-on status on the ocean?

Suggestion (not a hint): Stay away from tankers.

Bzzt. A tanker hit the San Raphael bridge earlier this year avoiding a
boat. The boat is and has been held liable. Look at the SFCG site, and
you
will probably find the info.

Bzzt. A freighter ran aground somewhere back east avoiding a boat earlier
this year. You will have to google up that one.

Sure thing. I could be wrong. And, now, back to you to answer the many
questions you have chosen to avoid answering.....

You would assume wrong. I don't currently own a boat. Keep trying to
insult me. It might work, you never know. Typical PWCer.

Nope. Cost me $75. Wrong again.

Please tell us why you're so angry. It's really hurtful for you.

Such anger. Maybe if you had a real sailboat, you would understand the
Colregs. Oh, thats right you are boatless.

Bill,

If there was an accident and you were doing 25 mph within 15 ft. of another
boat, in a narrow channel, even if the other boat changed direction on a
whim, you would most likely be found partially responsibility for the
accident.

And what about the power boater that will become a sailboat after he raises
his sails and turns off the motor. Just because he carries sails, he should
have all the right of way? I carry a paddle on my powerboat, should I not
have right of way over a sailboat?

And where do the ColRegs assign any "rights" to a vessel being
paddled? Are you one of those who think kayaks have some special
rights over other boats?

(And yes, I know that a number of states do give this privilege to
human powered vessels in waters not covered by the ColRegs and Inland
Rules.)

I see why you are a "Duhhh".


Hmmm...I am not thrilled by this thread. Reminds me of the obsessive
compulsive style sometimes attributed to too early or strict toilet
training. I even heard that too much participation in this kind of
thing, leads to the desire to sit the LSAT - then, before you know
what hit you, you are in a two year evening class law school, and you
have a JD after your names, counsellors.

You have been warned.

Are you Crazy??? Please tell us which waterway its customary to do 25
mph within 15 feet of another vessel underway. I've seen pwc's do
this, but that could explain why they are reviled by most other boaters.

Bad analogy, Bill. On the highway everyone has the same purpose, and
traveling in a consistent manner serves the collective purpose.
Boaters have to remember that every other boater has a different
agenda and is seeing the world in a different way. When that sailboat
started preparing to turn you were half a mile away, possibly even on
a different course. Your insistence that he turned 15 feet in front
of you simply proves that that you're the one who was cluelessly
assuming that the world revolves around your desires.

Bill..wouldn't you be happier getting rid of that boat and buying an
ATV? You could tear around the desert with no rules to follow, no one
to answer or whine to. Think about it.
