Changed my mind

I thought this was a good trick when I first read it last week.
Well I have put it into practice a 100 times since and it is not a good trick, it is a great great concept. It works at many different angles and is incredibly easy to do. Even my wife who has serious depth perception challenges can now do it with ease.
On Saturday, we were approaching two widely spaced PWCs who were perhaps a half mile away on our port side. Being the stand on boat, I knew I did not have to adjust my course but asked RG what she thought was going to happen with the two PWCs relative to us. She quickly told me that one was going to pass in front and one was going to pass behind. Sure enough, that's exactly what happened.
The other great use of the new found knowledge is I can make a small course or speed change well in advance and make close crossing a non event.
Thanks again.
Now to teach the kids. They are going to love the elegance of this.
