The response of the Coast Guard LTJG is actually good for something: It provides a defense if the CG ever stops you and tries to cite you for an ROW violation that is not a violation based on the email. Beyond that, I utterly fail to see how anyone can glean anything about ROW crossing rules for human-powered craft from the face of the CFR -- it is just not there. The only rule that seems to apply is the rule for "overtaking": at least they can't climb over your stern. Any admiralty lawyers on the list? Maybe there is some case law?
