If you see a boat's red and white lights off your starboard bow, it indicates that the vessel is approaching from your right side. You should maintain your course and speed, as the other vessel is likely on a collision course and may be overtaking you. However, remain vigilant and be prepared to take action if necessary, such as altering your course to avoid a potential collision. Always follow the navigational rules and ensure safety on the water.
