America’s Waterway Watch
America's Waterway Watch, a combined
effort of the Coast Guard and its Reserve
and Auxiliary, wants your help in keeping
America's waterways safe and secure.
America's Waterway Watch urges you to
adopt a heightened sense of sensitivity
toward unusual events or individuals you
may encounter in or around ports, docks,
marinas, riversides, beaches or waterfront
communities. To report suspicious activities,
call the National Response Center at 1-877-
24WATCH or 1-800-424-8802. If there is
immediate danger to life or property call 911
or call the Coast Guard on Marine channel
16.
10.3 Rules of the Road
As in driving an automobile, there are a few
rules you must know for safe boating opera-
tion. The following information describes the
basic navigation rules and action to be taken
by vessels in a crossing, meeting or overtak-
ing situation while operating in inland
waters. These are basic examples and not
intended to teach all the rules of navigation.
For further information consult the “Naviga-
tion Rules” or contact the Coast Guard,
Coast Guard Auxiliary, Department of Natu-
ral Resources, or your local boat club. These
organizations sponsor courses in boat han-
dling, including rules of the road. We
strongly recommend such courses. Books
on this subject are also available from your
local library.
When two motor boats are crossing, the
boat on the right has the right of way and
should maintain its course and speed. The
other vessel should slow down and permit it
to pass. Both boats should sound appropri-
ate signals.

Crossing situations
!
CAUTION
Avoid collisions by following naviga-
tion rules. If a collision appears
unavoidable, both vessels must act.
Prudence takes precedence over
right-of-way rules if a crash is immi-
nent. Less maneuverable boats gener-
ally have the right of way. Steer clear
of the right-of-way boat and pass to its
stern.
