Seriously RG you guys were in no way at all in the wrong. Anyone who believes that RG should have altered their actions is out of their minds here. RG was at headway speed!!!! Essentially a boat at headway or idle becomes the obstacle to be avoided meaning the boat on plane has the obligation to avoid coming within 150 feet of the idle/off plane boat. This case is so clear cut and simple I can not believe there is a debate here. RG you were 100% correct and the offending operator was incorrect, ignorant and rude.
