discussion on passing and overtaking. Started out as waking.
Of course there are horn signals for this. Might be for crossing too.
There is one group busy quoting sections of the rules and correcting or
interpreting it as they see it.
The other group , which I belong too is the 98%+ of the boats you meet
out there have little or no knowledge of the rules and options, shapes
or signals.
So I approach every situation with that in mind and never assume or take
on a position or course that even if I am in agreement with the rule may
not be recognized by the other vessel most of the time and cause an
incident.
Rules are great only if both parties know them.
May be a great defense in court after the incident but I prefer to avoid
incidents.
