Bravo Zulu DaveR!

You got the meaning of Colregs Rule # 9 nutz on!

The question is, does it apply?

I should know this but I have has so many different answers to this I am confused. Maybe this one should be for Skip.

Just because our Lake is wholly within the State of New Hampshire do the navigation rules that are used in every other state and nation on the planet apply? Even if they don't conflict or when there is no NH rule?

I have had Coasties scoff and say "Of course they do". I have had NHMP tell me that legislature makes all of the rules here.

Any ideas?
