??? Why drag me into your fantasy world, Nil?

All I ever did was call you a nautical wannabe. The last thing in the
world I would ever do is argue about the COLREGS with the Cliff Claven
of a.s.a.

Shenn and Otnmbrd are unlimited masters with a career at sea actually
operating ships so I do believe they are a bit more qualified to
interpret the COLREGS than, what is it you claim to hold, a 6 pack MOTOR
ticket or something?

The only thing I can see in your post that cannot be disputed is this
determined adherence to your nautical fantasy life and your peculiar
need to shop it around so many newsgroups.

The key to documenting your time is to do it on boats you have owned
recently. Then it is on the honor system. You have to show proof that
you own the boats but they take your word for the time you have sailed
them. Hint! Hint!

I've plenty enough time in three years on one of my two boats.

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha

ROFLMAO Yeah, it must be the Whaler 'cause your toy license is for
MOTOR!!! You can't pass the test to get a sail endorsement and the only
motor you can operate is an outboard ...

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

S.Simon - A legitimate Master.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ... a "master" of the keyboard, an
internet wannabe, the fastest backpeddler, and the master of fraud in ASA.

This just gets better and better ... best laugh since Jax bailed out in
shame.

ROFL You're dinky little license and sailboat, will NEVER make you one
of the "Big Boys"..... never mind your lack of experience and/or knowledge.

Nil couldn't get a job as a messman, he simply is not qualified. If he
was fit enough, could afford and pass the training, and somehow managed
to get an STCW certificate his attitude would get him kicked off at the
first port anyway.

Have seen a lot of his type dragging their gear down the gangway over
the years, one trippers who found out it takes more than a big mouth to
be a seaman.

Nil is singing and dancing now, backed into a corner, shown to be a
fraud and nothing more than just another internet wannabe ...

hi
so what you are saying is that in a heavy mist created by hot bathwater in
a colder bathroom ,simple simons rubber duck being un powered should stand
on even though it is at risk of a collision with his plastic toy power boat.

Dear Group,

Some people here who claim to be captains are so
obviously too stupid to realize that fog, thick or thin,
is but one example of restricted visibility that they
have drawn the wrong conclusions concerning the
issue of stand-on and give-way vessels in restricted
visibility.

While I maintain there are, indeed, stand-on and give-
way vessels in restricted visibility they claim not. They
say there is no pecking order in or near restricted
visibility. I say there is a pecking order in restricted
visibility.

Here's my proof which, so far, nobody has been
able to refute rationally or logically.

Heavy rain can cause restricted visibility, dust and smog
can cause restricted visibility, sand storms can restrict visibility
and there is restricted visibility in a maritime environment most
everywhere in the core of a hurricane. Even smoke from forest
fires can cause restricted visibility.

You idiots relying on a worst case scenario (very thick fog)
to prove your point will continue to come up way, way short
of the mark.

My argument has been and is that stand-on and give-way
vessels exist in or near restricted visibility and I have proven
it below in a step-by-step, logical fashion.

Your stinkin' fog so thick you can't see the bow of your
vessel does not change my argument because unusually
thick fog is but one instance of restricted visibility and is
generally an exception to the rule.

The very purpose of having vessels slow to a safe speed is
so when they eventually come within sight of one another
they will be going at a safe speed so they can avoid a
collision while following the in-sight Rules. It's sort of like
being a safe driver on the road at night and not going so
fast that you cannot stop in the distance your headlights
shine.

So, to set things straight with respect to the ongoing
and lame and just plain incorrect arguments presented
by Jeff Morris, Shenn44, Otnmbrd, and Rick, here's
four facts that cannot be disputed.

Fact one: In or near an area of restricted visibility vessels
are required to sound signals specific to the
vessel in question. Motor vessels sound one
signal when underway and those vessels above
them in the pecking order sound another and
different signal. This is an ABBREVIATED
pecking order.

Fact two: When two vessels proceeding in restricted
visibility get close enough to each other that
they are in-sight (visually) they must then follow
the in-sight rules where the FULL pecking order
is mandated.

Fact three: These two vessels, although operating in or near
an area of restricted visibility, become a stand-on
and a give-way vessel as long as they remain in
sight of one another.

Fact four: There is, indeed, a stand-on and a give-way vessel
in or near an area of restricted visibility.


S.Simon - the ultimate authority when it comes to understanding
the COLREGS.

So what kind of woman would like to hear the same argument for many
months? Maybe your ex-wife?

You think that you wouldn't produce thar same argument for many months???
Honestly! Women are perfectly capable of producing the same argument for
many years.

Next Tuesday is my 25th wedding anneversiary. Earlier tonight, my wife
tried to ask me how much I wanted on my dinner plate.

SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH I WANT!! For 25 years she has given me too much food
every single bloody night! Every single night since we got married, I've
left food on my plate.

I still get carrots served to me. I've never eaten a single bloody carrot
in 25 years. WHY do I still get carrots on my plate?

Regards


Donal - who really doesn't understand women.
