Typical stupid statement from the "simpleton".
A. You only THINK you know something about radar.....you don't.

One does not need to know anything about the technical aspects
of radar to understand how the COLREGS apply to the use of radar.

B. You only THINK you know something about how ferries operate.....you don't.

One need not know how ferries operate in order to understand their
obligations under the Rules.

C. You only THINK you know and understand the rules.....you don't.

I have proven time and time again that I understand the COLREGS
better than all you tugboat captains put together. If I don't understand
them then the lot of you don't even know they exist.

D. You only THINK you have enough time out underway on the water to be able to
discuss the subject intelligently......you don't.

Unlike you and the other tugboat captains, I have spent more
time on the water in the past ten years than any of you and
probably more than any two of you put together. I have seen,
firsthand, how most motor boat professional captains are rude,
and abusive of the pecking order Rules. In their minds it's
always a matter of might making right and commercial interests
over pleasure craft. Their minds are warped and bitter that
they are almost at the very bottom of the pecking order and
must give way to vessels they honestly feel are inferior to
their glorified trucks ( bulk carriers, freighters, etc.) or
oversized busses (ferries, cruise ships, etc.).

Spoken like an amateur of the most dangerous sort.

You have proven a great deal here, Nil. However, very little of that
had anything to do with seafaring.

Sleeping on a park bench does not make you a park ranger.

... warped and bitter that they are almost at

A little moment of introspection there, Nil?

How's the renewal coming along? Your friends in the White House
keeping the CG hustling for you?

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

It's only been a week. I expect it'll take a month to six
weeks for them to send me an updated license. In the
meantime, they give you a whole year's grace period so
there's no hurry.

Since it is not mentioned in the COLREGS you may not be aware that you
cannot use the license during the grace period.

But it's not like you will make any less money with it anyway.

Rick

It's not my fault if the authorities are slow to
process the renewal. My license remains valid
until revoked. When the license renewal is processed
and returned to me the date of issue of the new license
will be the date of expiration of the old one. This
means My license never expired and I can legally
operate under the old one with while the paper
work is being processed.

If you really have a licence you can look on the lower right hand
corner and it will state very clearly when it expires. On that date
that piece of paper is just another piece of trash cluttering your
derelict.

What you believe is irrelevant as usual.

S.Simon

Wrong again simpleton. The expiration date on your license, is the last day you
could use it.
The years grace period, only gives you time to renew, without having to retake
the license exam.
If you are using the license and it has expired, I would not hesitate to turn
you in for operating without one ... EG though I cannot for the life of me
think of what you might be doing, that would require one.

S.S

Doesn't matter, since you don't use it anyway....will take 1-2 months, I
betcha.....and even then, all you'll have is a phony piece of paper which shows
nothing about your real qualification......zero !!

Because of a little organization called the IRS I
will NOT claim I made almost ten grand last year
using my licenses.

I wonder if you can claim the same or more???
