Slipperier than an eel you are. Slippery but not much
smarter than one, unfortunately. Your statement about
if a vessel can't see the bridge of a ship then the ship
cannot see the vessel was stupid, myopic, arrogant,
ignorant, dangerous and unfortunate for you.

It was a disgraceful thing for a licensed Master who claims
to be in charge of large ships to maintain. It shows the
arrogant attitude big ships have towards smaller vessels.
It is the attitude that results in collisions and loss of life.
It is the attitude the COLREGS were written to squash.

Shame on you for requiring a mere 25GT Near Coastal
Master to point out how much of an inept captain you really
are.

Hey stupid. The bridge is where the ship is maneuvered from. One does
not make maneuvers based on scanty information. One make maneuvers,
after the lookout reports the sighting, and some idea as to the movement
of the other vessel can be determined.
Sheesh, you are such an inexperienced piece of junk......knowing you are
there, and knowing what you are doing and how to react to it, are two
different things.
You haven't got the common sense or intelligence of one of my Mastiff's,
and they are well known for a low brain cell count.

Hey stupid. The 'bridge' does not exist in the Rules with
respect to keeping a lookout at all times. Lamers using
dangerous excuses and practices like maintaining that
you can't see a vessel if the vessel can't see the bridge
shows you are unqualified to be a captain.

Read the Rules pertaining to keeping a lookout.
It says nothing about keeping a lookout on the
bridge only. You are required to be aware of
other vessels around you even if it requires posting
a man or men at the bow, at the stern and any place
else not visible from the bridge.

You really embarrassed yourself this time. What an
ignoramous!

It doesn't. Assume that they can't until it would be obvious to even a
"Simple Simon" that they couldn't use "restricted visibility" as an
excuse for not obeying the rules.

If you can't see the bridge, the bridge cannot see you.

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?
