We averted a disaster today

Just a follow up-
I had to go to West Marine for a battery charger and the Auxiliary Coast Guard had two guys trying to sign people up for a captain course .

Just for shots and giggles I struck a conversation and explained what had happened Sunday .
Both said the same thing , the other guy was at fault , he has an obligation to conduct his boat in a safe manner and be aware of his surroundings.
They also said blowing a horn is useless usually because it just causes confusion, even though by rights I should have.


That said , either way , it was too close and just emphasizes what was said above , always anticipating the other guy to do the dumbest thing possible and be ready for it .

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I've PM'd @bellygrace69 to get my 20 seconds back from reading your lack of nautical protocol thread... ;)
