Sorry Neal, "Right-of-Way" and "Stand-on" do not mean the same thing. In the Inland
Rules, both terms are used. Stand-on means that a vessel is obligated to keep her speed
and course (until conditions necessitate otherwise). Right-of-way is given to downbound
vessels on Western Rivers, and implies that they can dictate the maneuver to an upbound
vessel. In essence, the ROW vessel controls the entire situation.

Now come on Neal, its about time you came clean. You never did take that test, did you?
Its pretty clear that if you had to take it now you wouldn't get 50% right, even if you
were allowed to use the book.

End of next month - the 25th if I remember correctly.

Don't worry, it will be renewed - I'm working on the paperwork
right now and I've the physical and drug test scheduled in the
first week in November. Heck, they give you a whole years grace
to renew it.

P.S. Right of way is just another way of saying stand-on vessel. I expect
Shen, otn and that little twerp Rick not to know terminology but you should
not be so ignorant.

The International ColRegs don't give any vessel "Right of Way." They only give
vessels
obligations. You're the one with the biased view - you demonstrated that in this
post!

Its a good thing your license will expire next month.

I've easily won every argument with you tugboat captains
who have proven time and time again you are operating
under a biased view of the COLREGS. You don't read
them or use them as they are written. Rather, you continue
to pick and choose those Rules you feel give you more
rights than you really have. You just hate the fact that
the Rules give sailboats the right of way over motorboats
in most circumstances.

You guys are in a fog even when there is fifty miles of
visibility.

Sure sign that Simon the Buffoon realizes he's lost yet another
argument/discussion .... an off the wall, attempt to change the subject of yet
another defeat, to one he may have more personal knowledge of.
