To all:

Today.. (Saturday) I was eastbound between Locke Is. and Glendale.. not in the no wake... as I passed Glendale there was a large (34+) coming out of Glendale on my starboard side.

I'm driving my 50 HP 20' pontoon and steered to Port well before the 150' line. ( I had 9 folks onboard) so.. I was hardly over headway speed.

As I steered to Port. I had a boat coming head on.. to my Port side,

Choice was... stay on course.. ( allowing the head on to pass my Port) or cross the head on Hard Port. Sorta like I was the "monkey in the middle"

Turns out the head on was a MP boat... He loud hailed me.. I explained the situation... and he didn't write me up... but I'm really confused

Was I Right or Wrong?
