Jet Ski overheating problem

I was referring to the few sailors who exercise their 'under sail' right of way, which I respect, only to see that they're under power as I pass by their stern. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Oh, you were plenty clear. I understood what you said, but apparently you did not understand what you implied. The basic situation is that you are responsible for safely passing other boats. That means giving enough distance that you can avoid them if they make an unexpected maneuver. You made it clear that you begrudge this obligation. I made it clear that this is not an optimal attitude. But I'll give you credit for this, you're a few miles ahead of Bill M in both comprehension & attitude. Maybe you can help him out a little?

DSK And you in a sailboat do not have a requirement in passing safely? Both as the stand on and give way boat? |

DSK I begrudge the obligation *only* when I relinquish my right of way and then discover they were under power. If you want to turn that into a negative, help yourself. -- John H "It's *not* a baby kicking, beautiful bride, it's only a fetus!" A Famous Hypocrite |
