Somebody obviously has not read the latest edition of "Farwell's Rules of
the Nautical Road." Let this be a warning to us all..

I prime example of failure to give way in a crossing situations by the
vessel on the left.
Also, failure of the stand on vessel to take avoiding action when in extremis.

Hi Mike,

Are you sure that those were the only causal factors? While the
after-action picture was certainly taken in broad daylight, the actual
incident may well have happened at night. As such, I looked for extenuating
circumstances and of course noted that the 'vessel' on the right was not
configured to display a red port side navigation light, was not displaying a
masthead light, and of course had no provisions to keep other deck lights
from interfering with the visibility of the navigation lights. Sheesh --
what was that other driver thinking! :-)

I presume the smiling lady in the business suit is the driver of the 'vessel' on the right. Then, as a Power Squadron Member, I must ask the question: "Has she had boating skills education and if so, did she pass her P.C.O.C. exam?"
That's the (Canadian) "Pleasure Craft Operator's Certificate."
Only in Canada, you say --pity!

George,

Silly me - I never guessed she might have been the driver. Seeing how she
was smiling, I just assumed she must be one of the attorneys who had just
started the meter running on this case! :-)
