Subject: Ferry Speeds
From: "Simple Simon"


Other traffic should not need radar if only the
ferry operator would follow the COLREGS and
proceed at a safe speed and slow to a stop if
necessary to avoid a collision.

Typical stupid statement from the "simpleton".
A. You only THINK you know something about radar.....you don't.
B. You only THINK you know something about how ferries operate.....you don't.
C. You only THINK you know and understand the rules.....you don't.
D. You only THINK you have enough time out underway on the water to be able to
discuss the subject intelligently......you don't.

Instead, ferry operators think they can just
go about their merry way at speeds too high
for the visibility. Rather than abiding by the
COLREGS you operators flaunt the Rules and
cause accidents.

BG You wouldn't know a ferry, if you saw one ..... come back and talk when
you get some experience that includes something besides sitting at anchor in
Tampa Bay.
