You guys blow me away with your knowledge....makes me feel like I am a hazzard out there with my totally limited knowledge.....

Thanks MM that certainly helps. So two points aft of the starboard beam means he would be approaching me at approximately 65 degrees. It could have been a little greater than 30 degrees but by no means anywhere near two points aft of the starboard beam. If he was in fact commercial then he must have understood his angle of approach and what it meant in terms of right of way. The only remaining issue then could be that he felt maybe that I was going faster than him, but I can't see how. At least this helps me to understand better what may have been going through his mind.

As far as going over my lines, this was absolutley no doubt intentional and malicious. As my reels screamed, I blew my horn only to see him stare back at me as to say, "see what you get" and just keep going. I find it hard to believe that there is no law against intentional destruction of someone's property in this fashion. I trust your knowledge as you certainly seem to know what you are talking about, so are you saying that anyone can intentionally steam over others' trolling lines and not be responsible? I would have expected that if I ever did this, even accidentally, that I would at least be responsible for the damage, but to do it intentionally to me would seem to be a crime.

Thanks for helping me to understand the situation better. Right of way or not I'll be moving much sooner and faster the next time around.
