Lol..there are rules about "right of way?" Or as in who is the "stand down vessel!?" We were sailing through the six-pack on Monday and TWO boats powered directly in front of us, I guess expecting us to change our course, because obviously, they couldn't throttle down...or go behind us. And after forcing us to change our course (or t-bone the second boat) while tacking through the channel, the operators waved to us.
Obviously, that whole "right of way thing" is BS, as is the 150-foot-rule. Just ask those guys.
I love the lake, and I'll let them have it this week...and the next several if need be. I get to be here all of the other weeks.
