One time about eight years ago I tried to assert my assumed right of way with the Manitou, out by buoy 3, while sailing a 12' Hobie Holder. The Manitou had a lot of people on board, and the skipper did not let me have my assumed course and I had to change course. It looked like it was moving close to its top speed, too, headed for Meredith.
I was think'n, this is a sailboat, you are a motorboat, therefore I have the right of way. As it continued on its course, it got closer, and I quickly started to rethink my situation. This actually happened on two different occasions.
So, where's the Marine Patrol when you really need them?
