Many years ago, in one of my first charter experiences with a 40" sailboat on the Great Lakes, I encountered drunken jet skiers upon our return to port within the marina. I erroneously tried to avoid them, even though I was in a single screw vessel going about 1k and couldn't have hurt them if I hit them head on. It was the most awful experience I have ever had as a sailor. But I learned an important lesson. There is a legitimate reason for the Rules of the Road. To be sure, they must be broken when lives are at stake. But just as huge freighters on Lake Michigan had no obligation to try and maneuver around me as a novice sailor, the same logic applies in an anchorage where 40+" vessels are competing with jet skis that can turn on a dime. You must "stand on."
