Typical stupid statement from the "simpleton".
A. You only THINK you know something about radar.....you don't.

One does not need to know anything about the technical aspects
of radar to understand how the COLREGS apply to the use of radar.

Then stick solely to the aspects of radar, which concern COLREGS .... then try
to understand what COLREGS is saying about Radar....obviously, you know
neither.

B. You only THINK you know something about how ferries operate.....you
don't.

One need not know how ferries operate in order to understand their
obligations under the Rules.

This is a typical statement from an inexperienced amateur. The more you know
about ANY type of vessel, the better you will be, at handling any situation
which may arise, regarding that vessel. In your case, you're to inexperienced
to realize that the most important rule, is rule 2, and you must take all the
rules, PLUS, what the vessels are, into consideration, when applying the rules
"It's not just the rules.... it's the situation"

C. You only THINK you know and understand the rules.....you don't.

I have proven time and time again that I understand the COLREGS
better than all you tugboat captains put together. If I don't understand
them then the lot of you don't even know they exist.

You have proven time and time again, that you know some of the wording of the
Rules, but little of the intent. You have shown that you are a simple beginner
with minimal experience and understanding ..... a phony troll.... you get no
respect and deserve less. You remind me of the guy on NYPD Blue, who was caught
impersonating a police officer.... you try to impersonate a Maritime
professional, with a license.....and fail miserably.

D. You only THINK you have enough time out underway on the water to be able
to
discuss the subject intelligently......you don't.

Unlike you and the other tugboat captains, I have spent more
time on the water in the past ten years than any of you and
probably more than any two of you put together.

You total stupid idiot!!
You could go sailing every day of the remainder of your life, and never
approach ANYTHING, near the time I'd spent at sea, 30 years ago !! .... much
less, what I spend, nowadays..... but the biggest difference is, you're too
stupid to realize you're still learning, whereas I will continue to learn.

I have seen,
firsthand, how most motor boat professional captains are rude,
and abusive of the pecking order Rules.

BS You don't spend enough time underway to have seen ANYTHING!!!

In their minds it's
always a matter of might making right and commercial interests
over pleasure craft. Their minds are warped and bitter that
they are almost at the very bottom of the pecking order and
must give way to vessels they honestly feel are inferior to
their glorified trucks ( bulk carriers, freighters, etc.) or
oversized busses (ferries, cruise ships, etc.).

ROFLMAO Simpleton, you're a rank (and I do mean RANK) amateur, who lives aboard
his boat, permanently anchored out of harms way..... come back and talk when
you learn to walk ..... your still crawling on yer belly
