Wrong again. In Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, and the ICW in between they
are on channel 9.

Waiting for a drawbridge to open?

Ding, ding, ding. Correct!

And you don't know what kind of vessel it is.

And you should slow down and call the bridge
tender on Channel 12 to request he hold the opening
for you too.

That was one question Booby surely would NEVER
have gotten yet he makes fun of you. Bwahahahah!

Also, I couldn't help but notice the professional motor
boat captains didn't have a clue.

I've questions that will stump the Captains (I hope)

You are sailing in a heavy fog and you hear ahead of you
one prolonged blast followed by one short blast.

What is the vessel ahead of you doing?
What kind of vessel is it?
What should you do?

True but many other places still use 13. So I'll revise it to
state contact bridge tender on 9/13 depending upon
which channel he uses.

For those looking for the information as to this signal, go to your Coast Pilot
and look in the front under Navigation Regulations.

BTW, in the real world it also could have been a powerdriven vessel which came
out of the fog and needs to signal for a "port to port" to a vessel now in
sight.

Wrong! Fog signals apply 'in or near' an area of restricted visibility.

Are you claiming the manuevering signals can't be used near areas of restricted
visibility?

Maneuvering signals apply only in in-sight situations. They
are not to be used in restricted visibility.

So you're saying that near areas of restricted visibility, the rules for "in sight" don't
apply?

I'm saying the Rules for restricted visibility apply
'in or near' areas of restricted visibility. Rules for
restricted visibilty state in sight-signals shall not
be used.
