Lesson learned: Pay close attention to boats on port from waaaay out that might have overlap at the gate - you owe them room at the right-hand mark, even though you are on starboard. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Plan for it instead of realizing it at the last possible second (two-boatlength circle) and your rounding will be more tactical.
