no sir.
you are wrong.
one blast means "i intend to leave "you" on "my" port.
two blasts mean "i intend to leave "you" on "my" starbord.
he's overtaking you, no matter which way your facing him.
if he signals you with one blast, you should respond with one blast "ok"{leave me on your port}
if he signals you with two blasts, you should respond with two blasts"ok"{leave me on your starboard}
he's commin' thru, and just letting you know his intentions.
