Finally found my boating information from Florida.  Its pretty bad when you have
recently seen something that you had not seen in years and then NEED it but
can't find the stuff!

Florida and North Carolina regulations state that human powered vessels have
right of way over power boats unless the power boats are in a state of limited
manuverability.

I was hoping the information I had from when I was in Florida was from the USCG.
Alas not.  I have not been able to get into the USCG site.  I was informed in
email that the site was turned off due to hacking attacks.

I know someone who is responsible for boating safety in the state of Florida.
I'll try to get in contact with him to see if he can reference the USCG rules on
who has right of way.

Hope this helps....
