to be in the courtroom when you spout
that as a defense.

No it's not OK to run over and kill anyone.

But most ships have radars that cost 10 times what your boat cost.
They are excellent tools that you use with radios gps,s chart plotters
ect that allow you to do a job safely, that can not be done on the
adverage recreation craft.

Plus Ships in a channel usually require pilots, guys that during an
exam have to draw a chart of a ship channel and harbor from memeory
including every aid to navigation, dock, ect. They have 100's if not
thousands of trips in that local area.

Tell me Neil, Do you have a radar endorsement on the back of your
licences? How's about a radio endorsement? How's about any
endorsements?

Didn't think so.

Your basic, and with your attitude you will stay a basic mariner,
never a master mariner.

G Personal opinion .... On a ship, it would be totally different.
For the average recreational boater, if you don't have to go in these
conditions, don't .... if you get caught in them, slow WAY down, and
take your time .... you're doing it for fun, not to make a living.
