What you did to avoid colliding with other boats
changing directions to avoid colliding by the mistakes of other road users
The main rules are as follows:1. Avoid collisions at all cost (even if you've the right of way, you can be penalized for not doing everything possible to avoid a collision)2. Port boats give way to starboard. (boats with the sail on the right get out of the way of boats with their sail on the left)http://www.spinnaker-sailing.com/lessons/keelboat/port_vs_star.gif3. Windward boats keep clear of leeward boats. (boats nearest the source of wind must give way to boats below them)4. Give Water. Boats must give room to other boats when going round an obstacle. (can't run someone into a lighthouse or rocks etc..)for more detail, just ask.hope this helps
Be aware of your surroundings such as boats and other PWC's.

Air boats are powered by either an aircraft or automotive engines that's why it differs from the other boats.
Tug boats
Avoid speeding and hitting pedestrians or other vehicles.
Control the noise from your boat. Ignore the other boats around you. Meet as many people as you can. Make a large wake near small boats.
Observe the navigational guidelines. Pay heed to the signs that direct you. Keep a close eye on everything and designate one person as the "lookout." Maintain a safe speed, especially at night and in congested traffic. Before making any turn, take a thorough look around.
Currently, they have got 5 main vessels which are: MY Steve Irwin, MY Bob Barker, MY Sam Simon, MY Jairo Mora Sandoval, MV Brigette Bardot. Along with their fleet, the acculamte numerouse of donated boats from other people and celebrities along with having small water boats. In the past, they have had 9 main vessels which included first 2 Sea Shepherd boats, Farley Mowat and the Ady Gil. The cause of some of these boats departure are because of retirement due to colissions like the Ady Gil which had to be left to sunk after colliding with a Japanese harpoon vessel.
Tectonic plates shifting or colliding with each other
It could be that the people steering the boats are each looking at the other boat, and there is a tendency to turn slightly toward the direction of your gaze. The same thing happens while driving a car. It's also possible that with fewer stationary reference points, there may be an illusion that passing boats are pulled towards each other, even if they move straight ahead and at a distance where wake would not be an issue. After all, if the boats are passing, they are in fact approaching each other up to a point. The boats will point their bows directly into the others wake to avoid a rough ride. I do point my boats bow towards the oncoming boats path but not until it has passed. This is important to smaller craft because if they didnt make this adjustment, the wake of a larger boat can capsize the smaller one. Answer to the question "Why are passing boats pulled toward each other?" When the two boats pass each other the water between them flows faster than that on the outer sides. According to Bernoulli's theorem "when velocity of a fluid increases the pressure decreases". Therefore the pressure between the boats is less than that on the other two sides. The greater pressure on the outer sides push the two boats towards each other.
