'Port'

1. Left on a boat.
2. A place you wish you never left on a boat.




I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

The area from dead ahead to two points (about 22.5 deg.) abaft (past) the starboard beam is the "Danger Zone". Unless you have a special privilege, any boat in that area, regardless of speed, heading or size, has the right of way over your boat. I have heard that the kite surfers use the same rules.

I did add a smiley with my post :-)

Out here we have special rules also- anything goes, free for all, no rules is the rule. That's why I don't go on the lake on weekends or holidays (Lake Powell)
I used to drive private houseboats here but gave that up after too many close calls by weekend Captains. We kill a few every year on this lake.

Not good. I boated for years on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. We used to call the rental houseboats Delta Destroyers. JetSkis/Waverunners are an even bigger problem. Never drove one much, but they seem to be like motorcycles and snowmobiles. The closer to the edge you drive them, the more fun they are. Until you go over the edge.......
