I had a guy in a fast trawler pass me today.. The only word was "Slow pass on your port side" and I didn't even realize he was there. Finally, I looked back, realizing that he was talking to me and so I backed down. He passed within 10 feet of me, and making no wake, and so I dropped in behind. No wake, no fuss.
I just said "Thanks Cap!"
What I'm saying is that it takes two parties to properly execute a slow pass: the passer and the passee.
