Huh? If the PB's engine's off, then how could it be anything but NUC
unless it's anchored or docked? It has no other means of propulsion. You
can't even steer if you don't have engine. Do you like to turn off your
engine and coast?

My, oh my! This idiot has a lot of nerve calling himself a captain. Doesn't
even know the definition of a NUC. Here's a hint, dude! It's got NOTHING to
do with having the engine turned off.

3(f) The term "vessel not under command" means a vessel which through
some exceptional circumstance is unable to maneuver as required by these
Rules and is therefore unable to keep out of the way of another vessel.


Since when is turning off the motor an exceptional circumstance that makes
the vessel unable to maneuver . . .? Only in a drug-altered mind?
