combined with a waive of acknowledgement to them seems to
work well enough (reassures them that they have been seen so less likely to do something stupid at the last minute).
If it is a
school taking lessons in a working fairway probably worth getting in touch with the
school ashore (they might not actually know! or be aware that not wise)......if that don't
work then maybe one for the harbourmaster to deal with ashore?
Personally I like the live and let live approach - even when that means I slow down or make a slight detour behind folks.
