Stand-on and give-way in crossing

Famous last words.

I have to agree that while the regs are quite specific, too many of the boaters out there these days are either Captain Boneheads or just totally effin' clueless. Sometimes they're one in the same. I err on the side of caution when dealing with these 'people'.

On weekends is when we see them the most, which is why most of my boating is during the week, particularly after work. (I find an hour out on the lake after work is just as calming as a couple of beers, but without the bad side effects. My wife says she can always tell when I've just come off the lake: I'm always calm, cool, and laid back.)
