Subject: Rules of the Road Question #8
From: "Donal"
Please accept my apologies. I'm really sorry that you have failed to bait
Nav. Also, in future I'll bear in mind that you don't appreciate humour.
No apologies necessary. As for Nav, he's probably still trying to figure out
the relation of the question to rule 24(g)(iv).
As for appreciating humor, I've developed an appreciation for the UK version
thereof, so feel free to attempt it at will.
However, I can offer some guidance to help you out of your current
predicament. All you need to do is learn a little bit about sailing! The
Navigator never wastes his time with people who are completely ignorant of
sailing matters. Once you know anything at all about sailing, you may bait
Nav.
ROFL Since, during a good deal of my younger years when I was boating
recreationally, it was spent on sailboats, I would say I have at least a
passing knowledge of sailing, though what this would have to do with someones
knowledge of the rules of the road, escapes me as I'm seeing not a great deal
of expertise being shown by yourself or Nav.
You're lucky that the good Capt Neal is kind enough to offer you the benefit
of his experience. In the old days, he was very intolerant of ignorance.
He seems to have mellowed lately.
I see that, and note he has "let you off the hook", so far.
Regards
Shen
