Neal,

This is a good example of truly," knowing the rule" or "Knowing the

No Thom, Neal can't be this stupid. He's just doing this to cause
trouble. He knows I can't leave a bogus rules claim out there without
rebutting it.

Next he'll be claiming Rule 18 can be ignored because its obviously
bogus. First it says power boats have to stay clear of sailboats, then
it says sailboats must stay clear of fishing boats, which are
powerboats. Obviously inconsistent and therefore can be ignored.

And clearly the rules of Section II do not apply if the skipper is
blind, because other vessels are not in sight. Since maintaining a
lookout means that vessels would then be in sight means that that rule
is contradictory.

And lights must be carried from sunset to sunrise, but they fail to
specify which direction time is running ...
