Unlike you, Neal, the three of us, when on any type of vessel (be it
sail or power), when hearing the fog signal of a vessel forward of our
beam, which may involve a close quarters situation or risk of collision,
will reduce our speed to the minimum at which we can be kept on course
and if necessary take all way off and in any event, navigate with
extreme caution until danger of collision has passed.
For us, it won't matter if we are on a sailboat or powerboat, nor will
it matter what type of vessel we are approaching, for.....it could well
be some clown such as yourself, who thinks he has some special
privileges in fog because he is sail and is proceeding as if in normal
visibility.
