I want to know too! Sounds like we have a lot of interest among the Escapees. Maybe we need a Rhone River Rally!

It's historically based on the ability to maneuver in the river current. The upstream vessel has the right to blue board. Since I went down the whole Rhine I saw a lot of blue boards. Keeps you on your toes. Imagine being on a twisty mountain road and if the oncoming vehicle flashed a blue light you had to switch sides of road

Well, saying goodbye to beautiful Munich and the friendly German people. Flight leaves in an hour.
Had a grand send off last night in downtown Munich at perhaps the best traditional Bavarian restaurant and Beer house in the city - the Augustiner-Keller. Superb.
Auf wiedersehen!

Back in the USA. A question: if you land 4 hours after you took off, but it's a 10 hour flight, are those 6 hours credited to your life?

Yes... but you have to pay it back when you go the other way!

I guess that makes sense.  truth be told my body clock is so confused right now that the 6 hours is irrelevant.

They must be and if you keep flying around the world West to East and each time you cross the international date line you go back to the previous day wouldn't you end up a baby if you did it long enough?

Let's get serious here.
I just came off the lake, fishing in my pontoon boat.
When you encounter a belly boat, for navigation purposes, which is port and which is starboard? Which is the bow and which the stern? I'm not sure who has to give way and which side to pass.

Hmm. If it's like this one, I'm assuming the bow is in front of him, the stern is behind him, and port/starboard are normal. What am I missing?

Unfortunately Robert, I don't think anyone here is qualified to answer that.

Sure you are. Escape owners are the smartest people in the world.

A belly boat is round, based on an inner tube.
But even in that boat, where is the bow? The pointy end, or behind him, in the direction of travel?

Depends on whether he's rowing or paddling.

He has no oars, so he's kicking, using flippers to move "backwards". So the question is, is he facing the bow? Or is he facing the stern?

I thought, hmm, I've operated under the traditional 3 R rule (red right returning) and in European waters where that would put you in a heap of trouble (reversed) and under Rhine Rules where things are sometimes reversed. But that one stumped me.
But I believe there's actually an answer. In a simplified nutshell; if he's motionless in the water you'd treat him as you would a rock. Pick a side and go by; if he's moving in any direction no matter whether he's facing one direction and moving in another direction, it's his direction of travel relative to you that comes into play. Basically, if he's on your right he has the right of way. Oh, and if he's unpowered and you are a power vessel he has absolute right of way.
Simple isn't it.
Ron
