Many boaters do not have a clue as to what 150 feet looks like on the water. I like to think of it as half the length of a football field. That rule applies to the shorelines, another boat, person, dock, raft, etc. and applies to both sides of your craft. So, to pass between any of these, you need 300 feet plus the width of your craft. any distance less than that is at idle speed.
