BE AWARE AND CAUTIOUS ALL THE TIME!!! Other boaters cut me off even if I am traveling across to the right of their boat. They do not look or care. I can not tell you how many times I could have been hit by another boat. I have to take a step back and simply enjoy the lake with the upmost caution. The lake is not the same as traveling down the road with specific lanes of travel. Boats come from all directions and often at full speed. I never assume that they will follow boating laws and even notice me. The captain always must be alert.

You've got it right GBG.....same here. I assume that everyone I meet on the lake may not know the rules so I am not expecting anyone to give way or be cautious in traffic. Never get a case of boat rage because I give way no matter who is in the right. Don't worry, be happy
