When the gentleman lost his life last weekend, the "big boat" involved was a barge. The law is a little different in a situation like that. Basically, it's up to US to get out of HIS way, period. True, he has certain speed restrictions and stuff, but a barge in the channel has right-of-way at all times over any recreational boat. It's just common sense; you can't turn that thing on a dime. Everybody needs to keep their head on a swivel out there.
