Wow. a great sea story, a pointer to know the rules of road in a solid

I suggest you cross post this to rec.boats and rec.boats.cruising.
Yes, there will be a few will make nasty remarks about Americans and a
few more that may attempt to sharp shoot the application of the rules
of the road, but my experience is that darn few know them well enough
to make a competent challenge.
