Why the Law of the Sea has to be the Law of the Jungle?

While it is possible that the boater chose to make it a close call, that's not certain at all, However, given the world in which we live, it's highly probable. As a new boat owner whose future father in law is a past Power Squadron District Commander, and usually within visual distance on his own boat when I'm piloting mine with his daughter on board, I scrupulously recite the rules of the road and how they apply to every other boat I see out there - fewer than 10% follow them, and at least another 10% demonstrate the sort of asinine contempt that can only be explained by the choice described above. I never thought I'd find a higher asshole density than I do on the roads, but the waterways have exceeded my worst expectations.
