The Official Word from a MP Officer....
I was at my Marina's annual Customer Appreciation Party yesterday and Marine Patrol had an officer there answering questions, handing out flyers, and doing the community outreach thing.
I asked the officer about passing in a channel. His answer was that as long as the "passing boat" was not being reckless and endangering himself or others, was not leaving a wake, and was at "headway speed", it would be ok to overtake the slower vessel in front of him.
So there you have it.....
