That's what I was referring to.....I know it's all hindsight now, but had the other pilot decided to break off and follow the rules then you could have had much bigger issues. I know you weren't on the IFR approach, but looking at the plate, you would see the missed approach for RW6 was a right turn, too.
In the end you kept him in sight and all ended safe. Just put it in that bag of things to remember.
