Nobody has the "right of way". You're a stand-on or give-way vessel.
Of course, you wouldn't expect a %^$^% jet ski operator to know
that. ;-)
Here's a solution:

Not 100% correct

Correct. When it appears that maintaining course will result in a collision,
both vessels are singally required to do whatever it takes to avoid that
collision. At that point, "stand-on" or "give-way" is moot, other than in
court.


In fact there was a case in the Singapore court a few years back where
two vessels in a controlled port traffic system were both deemed to be
in the wrong. One vessel for deviating from the specified channel and
ignoring instructions of the traffic controller, and the second for
not taking all possible action to avoid the collision.

until the sheeple stand up for their rights en-masse, the nail that
stands up will be hammered down.


Try to explain that to the cop after you lost your license, not me...(c;

As far as I know, the term "Right of Way" only appears in the Inland

At sea, right-of-way is either spelled EVERGREEN or SEALAND or MAERSK,

Although what you say is basically true, what I was referring to was the
term "right of way"...... it is still used in Rule 9 Inland USA


It's also used in Rule 14 (d) Head-on Situation.

Larry,,, you sure are quick to take a license when it is something you
don't like

{They know nothing of right-of-way.....another reason I call for mandatory
testing and licensing the hermits resist. If I can take his license, I
can take his life! The easy way would be to simply take his driver's
license from him. Of course, that would require real enforcement, not
just some flak-jacketed cowboys stopping everyone for no reason to check
their fire extinguishers...illegal search and seizure. They go for the
easy targets.}

Now .. let me see. If someone steals copyrighted material from another,
shouldn't that thief have his
license taken? I think so.

I used to ski in a pack with others who love them. I still love them,
but realize I'm not gettin' any younger. We never wake jumped anyone's
boat without calling them on the radio to ask if it was OK. Our favorite
was tugboats in a hurry to get upriver, which creates a huge wake trying
to plane their displacement hulls. They monitor channel 10...(c; "Try
not to scratch the new paint.", one tugboat captain told me. He added
throttle to make the wave bigger. The trick is to jump off the bow wave

Wanna see 'em run? When they flip you the finger, give 'em a big smile
and shake your head up and down in a big YES! Now convinced you are a
flaming fag, they'll run for the horizon! Works great in the car,
too....(c;

Now I know how the large commercial operators must feel some times.

I was motoring at five knots when a jet ski came roaring across my bow from
starboard at about full speed for those things. As he went by at 30 knots,
he screamed, "You %$#@* (reproductive reference) (feminine hygine
reference), I had the right of way!

Huh. Who ever heard of a jet ski operator even knowing that there was such a
thing? Our speed disparity was such that any course or speed alteration I
could have made wouldn't have significantly altered my status as an
essentially stationary object. His course was dead straight and the passing
distance wasn't any less than is typical for these buzz bombs.

Nice to know that one of these bozos has read a boating book though.

Here in New York State, all us pwc operators/enthusiasts know that
because we have to pass a boating safety course certification test in
order to legally operate our boats (pwc's). In my opinion it should
be that way in all states for all boaters (regardless of the size and
shape of their hulls)....just like for automobile drivers.

Maybe I haven't thought it through deeply enough, but I don't mind
being stopped and checked to see that I have a fire extinguisher, my
certification license, registration and all other required safety
equipment; the rules make sense and it's a good idea to make sure that
people know them and are obeying them. I always appreciate the chance
to make a good impression (and dispel certain stereotypes)on behalf of
all my fellow educated, responsible pwc'ers.

I know we've had this conversation before but you've got an uphill
battle ahead of you in regard to stereotypes.

One of our local, responsible, PWC'ers managed to decapitate himself
last week while running through a mooring area at speed.
