Default Right of way?

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.
