Copperline, if you are in the Blue Creek area you're a brave soul with the traffic I have seen come by here at night lately! I keep thinking about what speed, low visibility and other impairments can lead to on the water.

Having said that, I like a progressive approach to dealing with those who are prime candidates for natural de-selection.....assuming we have observed all the rules of the waterway as to right-of-way etc...... first use a air/fog horn just as you would in heavy weather or fog, if necessary then flash the docking lights and if that doesn't work scan the water( not the offending boat) with the old 1,000,000 watt hand light!!

This will probably cause the offending boat to want to approach you at which time you will likely be able to get a boat registration number for your conversation with the marine patrol. Nothing wrong with going from 1 to 3 if time doesn't permit for all of this.

Just an opinion.
