jeffies, until five days after this discussion started you were still claiming
that properly ducumented vessels could be operated by a non-citizen under any
circumstance and under all condition.

Actually, my first post on the topic was:

"First of all, jaxie doesn't understand the rules. His claim that a citizen
must
be on documented vessels at all times is completely bogus. It may be true for
commercial fishing vessels, but not for recreational boats."

Its pretty clear that I knew that recreation vessels were covered by different
rules.

It was two days after your comment, which I had let slide until it appeared that
someone beleived you.

this is not true. a *casual* non-citizen
user can under *some* conditions. Even then, jeffies, you could not produce
the specifics, except by a suspect reference in a single BoatsUS mag article,
said article missing a major portion of the law.

I posted the exact law in the US Code which says that recreational vessel are
exempt form the "citizen in command" rule. I also posted the new wording which
is on the Senate floor now The magazine article was a gift to you because it
showed that you would have been right 10 years ago. But you were too dense to
understand I was giving you a way out that would give you the illusion of
maintaining your dignity.


if I had not done the work
you claimed to have done, you would STILL be arguing that ANY duc vessel can
be
used by ANY non-citizen under ANY and ALL conditions, as you were up to that
point arguing.

You claimed specifically that if I allowed a non-citizen to command my boat for
even a few minutes, the CG could sieze it. That is clearly false.

You haven't done any work whatsoever. You posted the rules from the
documentation center about proving ownership that have nothing to do with a
non-citizen being in command.
