Folks,


But then, he cuts across the channel with pretty quick speed and goes
on a collision course with my craft. He did this so his passengers
could have a look at some bald eagles.

I steered out of his way as common sense commands.
But I wonder was that legal of him ? I know pleasure craft have to
yield to commercial crafts. so I have to yield but doesnt the means he
is on HIS side?

There's too much missing info here to make a positive answer, but generally,
if he made that maneuver to get a better look at some
"eagles" and thusly created a dangerous condition for you ..... the maneuver
was NOT legal.
Second point: Pleasure craft are NOT required to yield to commercial craft,
simply because one is "pleasure" and one is "commercial".
It is the condition of meeting that dictates who must yield.
