Since the arguement has been expressed in many ways, what about what the NASBLA safety course says?
Quote:
Chapter 3: Operating Your Boat—Safely Navigation Rules—Traffic Laws of the Waterways:
Maintain a safe speed.
Safe speed is the speed that ensures you will have ample time to avoid a collision and can stop within an appropriate distance. Safe speed will vary depending on conditions such as wind, water conditions, navigational hazards, visibility, surrounding vessel traffic density, and the maneuverability of your boat or PWC. Always reduce speed and navigate with extreme caution at night and when visibility is restricted.

Sounds pretty 'standard' to me?????
