Default Dual Shore Power hook up question

What is it that you disagree with? Do you know the

rules???

Somewhat.


I guess 'somewhat' is better than "what rules?". It would be useful for me
to know which rules you do an which ones you don't know so I know how to
deal with you on the waterways. I kind of thought "know the rules?" was
more of a YES / NO kind of question.



Sail boats DO NOT have right of way over anything.


There is no ''RoW.


Actually there is a Right of Way provision in the rules. This must be one
of the rules you don't know.

Do you think a sailboat
is other than the giveway vessle when overtaking a

powerboat (maybe just
ideling along)?


Did I say that?


No. Just testing to see if you were aware of one of the many situations
where sailors (who don't actually KNOW the rules) may not be aware that they
are the give way vessel. This is most commonly misunderstood rules on the
part of many snowbird sailors traveling the ICW.


Try actually reading the rules and you will see that there
are many other situations where sailboats must giveway to

power vessels.

No ****, genious!


Not a genious. I just KNOW the rules ---- not just 'somewhat' know them ---
whatever the **** that means.




FWIW -- I have over 50 years of sail experience and 10

years of power
experience. I have held 100ton ofshore masters license for

10 years.


And you still whine about RoW rules?


I never while about the rules. I know the rules.



I have no need to know the rules.


The above was not in any of my posts. You changed my original post from "I
have no need to whine, I know the rules." to the above.

Typical powerboater.
