All parties on the water, even Isobars, are responsible for avoiding a collision, even if they have the right of way. If someone on starboard with an approaching vessel feels a need to show off, they can wait a few seconds until there is no longer a collision hazard. Idiots who refuse to understand the rules, or accept that they apply to them, threaten the access rights of everybody. Even you Mike Fick. |

"I think a busy day at the Hatch is much different than wingers ripping down wind on North Tower swell."
Well said, but I seriously doubt that our Gorge expert will hear any of it. He's got his teeth into this thread, and he's not letting go. |

I.e. ride to the far end on one of the rollers instead of cutting it short and dropping in in front of oncoming traffic.
Seems like some (new-ish?) wingers are quite cavalier around others. So Wednesday I drop in the swell of one of the sightseeing boats. Moving in from the outside, by myself (nice). Two wingers were already on over on the other side. From what I could gather, the one further outside aggressively (or out of incompetence) slowly squeezed the other winger into an emergency bail, pretty rude MO. |

Wednesday North Tower was about as good as it gets, the swim home , not so much The Wingers and sailers in the Tower Standing wave were all circling/jibing in sinc, its those boat wakes where ROW gets dicey... |
