If they see an object on the water in the direction they are heading will use it as a marker instead of watching a compass and only veering off at the end, and your thinking is this boat going to run me over. I have had it happen to many times

Tonnage always wins even if you have the right of way.
Avoid collisions always.
Be seen and keep your head on a swivel.
