Always a good refresher. http://www.bassmaster.com/tips/boat-safety-know-your-right-wayI had to take evasive action the other day (Fork) on a boat that was approaching and crossing from my port side.

...I had to take evasive action the other day (Fork) on a boat that was approaching and crossing from my port side. I came to expect that on every trip there.

Good refresher. I bet a lot of people don't know this stuff, including fishermen.

Same as a vehicle, you have to drive defensively, always.

Thanks Fouz,
I'll admit I had no official Idea. However I have yet to hit another boat due to reckless driving or aggressive driving.. I usually will take the wake and let them speed up to avoid the wake.

Thanks for posting this Fouz! I would have no problem with requiring a boaters drivers license. Might save some lives.
