Now..... if your boat is set up so that you would have to leave the wheel
and go below to use the radio, it's one thing, but if you have the means to

What you are missing is the "prudent man" thing.


What rule number is that, Wayne?


If it looks like you
may be on a collision course with another vessel, and if
you have time
to do so, it is prudent to attempt communication of some

things up.


Which rule # is that? And if you don't have time to chat on
