Aclnowledging that you see the other watercraft and vice versa is just plain common sense. Then give the other person a wide berth and adhere to right-of-way rule can make a big difference. Not only in boating, but biking, motoring etc. I've been on this lake for 40 years and it is in the past 20 years, that I had to drive defensively. Since the boater's safety course became mandatory, I notice it has been easier and safer to cruise the lake. Let's hope that everyone 'get on the bandwagon' and do their part in making the lake safe and enjoyable.
