Subject: Perception
From: "Simple Simon" In a fog, as soon as vessels concerned come within sight of one another the sailboat is the stand-on vessel with respect to the motor vessel Not necessarily ..... what if the sailboat can see the motor vessel, but the motor vessel can't see the sail vessel? What if the motor vessel is in a TSS or narrow channel? What if both vessels are so close, that BOTH vessels need to take action to avoid collision? This means in a fog (when in sight) the pecking order applies. Stupid statement This loophole in the Rules is something that seems to go right over the heads of the group's tugboat captains. They cannot fathom the fact that 'in sight' also exists in restricted visibility as in a fog. Since 'in sight' exists in a fog then the pecking order exists in a fog. This is so logical that it cannot be argued. Yet the fools continue to argue it . . . S.Simon Sheesh .... the above, is the rambling of some beginner, without a clue. The term used in the rules is restricted visibility (due to whatever cause) and refers to situations where the vessels are NOT in sight of each other. Come on, Neal.... you've been trying to wiggle out of this mess, to no avail, for so long and in so many ways, you've reduced yourself to a point of nonsensical rambling. Shen |
