Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

He never told me why. If I have the opportunity to ask him in the near future I will and then post it here.

Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

Hindsight is 20/20

So in hindsight both boats returned to the dock safely. Neither boat appeared to be having trouble maneuvering.

But just to mix things up a bit here in this forum here is a...

Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

This was actually inside the marina and I was going towards my dock and slip.

One point of interest it that there are two entrances into the marina, an East and West Entrance. Both of us only have...

Re: Safety Tips to Share

Teach everyone on board how to use ch16 in case of an emergency. I have a sticker next to the radio with instructions.

Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

Even though I have years of experience on the water I am always looking to learn more. That is why I posted in the first place.

Your post has a great take away for me. I am very aware that power...

Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

There was absolutely no room to pass. If that was the case there would not have been an issue at all.

He told me later that rule 13 did not apply because he was not intending to overtake me. It...

Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

Took the boat out today. Even had a wind from the same direction again.

Took it to the speed a I felt I was going the other day and it was 2.4 Knots.

Also there is a maximum speed posted in a...

Re: Safety tips to share

How about don't throw a bow line to a non boater that just happens to be on the dock.

They will always pull your bow in and throw your stern out.

Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

I actually meant to say put "my vessel or passengers in danger".

That is my number one rule always. I believe most accidents happen because of a series of events with an outside factor playing a...

Safety Tips to Share

Many boaters share tips on boat handling, places to go, and products to buy. But few share safety tips on a regular basis.

So what are some of you best ideas?

I'll start with the first one.

Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

I probably was going faster than 1.5. I was going faster than someone could jog.

My actual masters is a 50 ton with towing and sailing endorsements. I also work as a captain all year round but...

Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

Again 1.5 is my guess of my speed. I doubt I was over 2. The reason for the slow speed is that I was over to starboard since there was on coming traffic to port. Tide was mostly out so channel was...

Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

I never noticed any posted signs for speed. So I just called and asked the Marina if there is a speed limit. They said its just no wake but go about 2 knots. I really never look at MY GPS for my...

Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

There just wasn't room for him to pass. Having him pass me would have been the best option if it were possible.

Re: Overtaking Vessel Wanting you to Speed Up

Once again great responses.

He stopped me as I had to passed his slip on my way back to land. But once we spoke it was a quick and reasonable conversation. So no problems there. He did disagree...
