Sorry for late post but I finally got logged in (forgot to do it). Regarding the pass by we were cruising about 45 when a boat passed my side at a high rate of speed. I can't say how close but I got soaked as did my passenger. He then took a line that crossed in front of me (I can't say how close) instead of a parallel line. I can't say how dangerous it was but I did get pretty soaked. When running with others I try to maintain a line and glass back periodically to check for approaching boats. I did not see him coming. All are safe and lessons learned.
