Blowing the danger signal could be illegal and of no value if the other
guy can't see you ( and could interfere with normal fog signals)
If possible, you should all ready have tried communicating by radio.
Paragraphs like this, highlight Neals amateur status.

BTW, this issue of one vessel or the other not being able to see, while
the other can, is quite often the case, especially when dealing with
larger and smaller vessels at the same time.

It is the responsibility of BOTH vessels to keep a lookout
by eyes and ears at all times. If in doubt blow the danger/
doubt signal to get their attention or contact them on the VHF
and request they get their heads out of their asses. Big ships
are notorious for the helmspeople sleeping on the job or with
with their faces stuck into girlie magazines.

If BOTH vessels are in sight of each other then visual rules apply. If
only one or neither vessel is in sight of the other, then the rules
for restricted visibility apply and BOTH vessels must navigate with
extreme caution until they are clear of each other.

How does the vessel that can see the other know that the other can see it?
