Good Morning
Have been reading this post and am quite amused ..This situation that Dave R brought forth has happened to me many times over the past several years and there is no rhyme or reason for such things,,I have been almost cut to pieces too many times and have come to the conclusion that there are alot of inexperienced and rude boaters that are out there that just don't follow the rules..That being said those of use that live by the code are put into UN-deserved and precarious situations that compromise the safety of all involved..
My best advise is to always navigate in a defensive posture especially on weekends. I try really hard to avoid these boneheads out there but at times it is difficult. Fortunately I am in a position to do most of my boating during the week when there are considerably less boaters and the water is much more manageable..
Its too bad that it has to be that way but.....
Be safe out there Dave even though you are in the right the other guy just doesn't get it!!
