Gee, I never leave home without my protractor!

But, given your quiz question (which I shall annotate as Quiz question #2) I will steal your answer used in round #1, I would "...slow a bit, let the gap grow and then resume previous speed..." or make a slight turn to starboard if conditions allowed.

Hey, I see a trend developing already.....lets use common sense (ahhh, the one thing that we can't seem to legislate)!

Here's me question du jour:

You are tooling about the Lake on a straight course with no other vessels in sight well more the 150' from any other object. Suddenly you spot a periscope breaking water exactly 150' dead ahead of you. Do you maintain course because you believe you are the stand-on (or right -of-way) vessel or do you alter course or immediatley slow (remember, this is a fresh water submarine, but no cheating you ex-coasties, bubbleheads or skimmer pukes).



Merry Christmas,
