Yes, to some degree/percent. Reminds me of the comment that unless you have
six nuns in habits aboard, and are anchored with all appropriate measures in
place, you're likely to be found somewhat at fault in a collision.



Provided that you are anchored in an approved anchorage :-)
Cheers,


A few years ago the Lake Okiboji cops killed a guy in his bunk in an
approved anchorage. It is against the law to go more than 5 mph within
300 feet of shore, of course. These are the guys who wrote up a guy
for that whose sinking boat wouldn't have made it to shore if he had
slowed down.
