"When two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel."

Yup, I would be shopping for my new Cigarette after I got finished with the CG in court. Violated their own rules of the road....

regardless of the rules of the road it is every captains duty to avoid a collision if possible, the CG captain needs some more training or something, all he had to do was slow down it was obvious the other boat didn't see him.

Re: Dumbass of the year award
I was tied up at the Riverside bar recently, as I walked down the dock to check my lines, here came one of those rigid/inflatable CG boats not 20" off the end of the docks just below a plane looking at the boats tied up (I guess). His wake caused all the boats to slam against the docks 3-5 times hard.
I just about busted a gut keeping mine off the pilings. I knew if I cussed them out I would be more than the usual target next time out.
Unfortunately they seem to be running training missions for newbie weekend warriors up our river this year

The CG boat had the right away as it's responding to an emergency situation . It states at the start of the vid that it was responding to a vessel in peril. But the first rule is to avoid a collision . Hailing the small boat was pissin' in the wind as they obviously didn't hear them. Could have been avoided.
