GL: USCG Auxilliary boat hits/sinks speedboat

[SeaJay]

...On two captain's part.  Either boat could have yielded.

Of course, the "right of way" should have been to the boat on the starboard 
side - the speedboat.  Technically, the USCG boat is at fault.

...But practically speaking, all is very clear when the speedboat captain 
says, "I didn't even see the other boat until it hit us."  Pretty much, that 
sums up that he wasn't looking where he was going.
