Subject: What Constitutes A 'Vessel' ?

I can't take anymore of this 'right-of-way' stuff. We've had sail
boats being mulled-over and now it's row boats. What is a vessel ?
If I go down to the Texas Gulf Coast and push-off into the Intra-
coastal Waterway (not likely) on an innertube (sp?) does that
constitute a 'vessel' and would I therefore be the captain ?
Normally my concerns about the rules-of-the-road begin-and-end
with bass fishermen and a few power boats when I'm out trying to
have a quiet sail on a lake on the NE side of Dallas. It sounds
much more complicated in the larger world.
Regards;
Paul
