Hmmm... No.
One might assume that a person attending a traditional navigation list might
1) be interested in International rules
2) be operating a sailing vessel.
In this case, the windward vessel keeps clear and passing side signals are
not given, rather, a turn to port/starboard indication is provided in
close quarters.
Now who's right? <grin>
