Approx 200 yards before the witches markers, I had a boat ahead of me, & 2 boats approaching from the NW, on my Port side. I noticed neither the boat in front of me nor the 1st boat approaching on my left giving way to each other, so I slowed down & waited to see what would happen. I seriously thought I may see a collision. The larger boat on my Port finally stopped & let the boat in front of me pass, as he should.

I was the stand on boat and I was very aware of what was happening. The captain of the give way boat was day dreaming off to his port side. I was prepared to give way but didn't have to as the other captain finally realized the situation. The moral of the story, more captaining and less daydreaming makes for a safer lake.
