Siksukr,
You remind us of the original question. If we were both going NWS I was wrong. If we were both on plane then I was wrong. The difficulty is in the differential in speed. Imagine approaching a fishing boat plugging along and expecting him to get out of your way? Thank you for the perspective. I yield to slower boats as well. (It really seems like the only choice)
