I agree that most pleasure boaters don’t understand the rules, even if they are familiar with them. I don’t have as much experience being around commercial vessels as many here, but in my experience the professionals have been very good. Of course, the collision between the WA State ferry and Nap Time is a stark exception to that. That was a stark example of why Rule 2 is in place and why we are all responsible to it.
