Boating's got rules, though, and you'd better know them or risk big problems. For instance, did you know that boats over 39.4 feet (12 meters) must to keep a copy of the International and Inland Navigation Rules of the Road aboard? Probably not a bad idea, no matter what size of boat you're running around in . . . ok, ok, dinghy, Sunfish, Laser... I agree, they're too wet and too small for it to be much help.
I'll be blogging a lot about rules (some obscure, some just common sense) over the coming weeks and months, and how maritime law applies those rules.
