			Once the “give way” vessel is not showing any signs of giving way, I alter course  or speed to avoid it.  
 In my experience on Winni this is required about 50% of the time.
 
 So far I have resisted the temptation to communicate any feelings about the bad manners or lack of knowledge to the other captains.
 
 I feel no obligation to educate other boaters.
 
 My sole obligation is the safety of my vessel.
