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. Hey guys, you got ta get rid of this "commercial" idea - there ain't no such concept. A vessel may be performing an act pertaining to business or commerce, but it isn't considered "commercial". The proper way is defined as to the vessel's ability to maneuver - not by the fact that it's a "commercial" vessel. |
