I had a similar situation off Sewall Point...a boat coming from my port side, we were both going approx the same speed (25-ish), and he decided he was just going to go straight. Knowing a Marine Patrol boat was fairly close, I slowed enough to be safe, but making it clearly visible that Bonehead failed to give-way and definitely came well within 150ft of my bow.

I smiled, thinking "I'm going to enjoy this idiot getting pulled over and getting a ticket!" I looked at the MP boat, could see the officer was looking in our direction....and he just sat there. Capt Bonehead continued on his way, I shook my head in disgust, and MP floated.
