Today I had to yield twice to Captain Boneheads in big boats, 1 cruiser and 1 GFBL even though I legally had the right of way and they should have given way, apparently being on a jet ski means you MUST get out of the way, or the bigger boat always has the right of way? In the first instance had I not basically slowed and turned off my course I probably would have been run down. Clearly voilated the 150' rule, and I never saw him as he came up over my right shoulder seemingly from nowhere. I am usually keeping a lookout all around me but missed this guy until he was maybe 500' away and closing fast. In both cases I chose safety over being right
