Once the “give way” vessel is not showing any signs of giving way, I alter course or speed to avoid it.
In my experience on Winni this is required about 50% of the time.
So far I have resisted the temptation to communicate any feelings about the bad manners or lack of knowledge to the other captains.
I feel no obligation to educate other boaters.
My sole obligation is the safety of my vessel.
