Exclamation Seaplane Pilot, Thanks for clarification

Therefore, if two boats are passing one another within the markers, and the markers themselves are not far enough apart to allow 150' between the two passing boats, they either have to slow to headway speed or one boat has to travel outside the marker (risking damage by the hazard that the marker is marking).
Sorry 'bout that Seaplane Pilot. I didn't fully digest your post before I replied (my bad). I didn't think that there was 150' between Graveyard markers so had no thought of two boats passing through there at anything above headway.

I agree with you and jrc. Graveyard is too narrow for TWO boats to pass at more than headway. Any reading comprehension courses around the lake, I may need a refresher ?
