Re: [Paddlewise] USCG response on Rules of the Road

My reading of the USCG rules is that human powered boats have the right of way.
Unless there is a manouverability issue.  This was on the USCG site a few years
back.  And it is also my understanding from being a boating safety instructor
years ago.

After one of my close encounters of with the IdiotsWithKey Kind, I went to the
USCG site and reread things to make sure I was remembering the rules correctly.
I was.

If'n I get a chance I'll go back and see if I can find the page.  The
information should also be available from the state wildlife law enforcement
agency as well as USCG pamplets/documentation.

Later...
Dan
