Finder,
An example of the situation that Dave R is talking about where you as the vessel to starboard would NOT be the standon vessel is if you are leaving the gas docks at Thurston's.
As you pull off the dock you are to starboard of anyone coming under the bridge from the Weirs, but you do not have the right of way.
So if the 34+ boat in SteveA's scenerio were just coming out of the channel in Smith Cove in the No Wake area and entering an area of unlimited speed then the 34+ has to wait his turn to hop on it, he can't LEGALLY "cut off" SteveA just because he's on Steve's starboard. (Although he probably would!)
