"Donal" the cowardly liar wrote:
OK, I'll accept that, but its pretty selective quoting there. My complete statement was: "So where in the Colregs does it say you can't run on radar alone? Of course, one should always have a visual (and sound) watch, but that is moot if there is effectively zero visibility. And yet many vessels maintain their normal schedule in thick fog." I think its pretty clear I'm not advocating running without a lookout, only that in practice the vessel is depending on radar for virtually all of its info. No, no no, no, no!!!!! In practice any vessel *must* obey the CollRegs. Don't you agree? What is your point here? You've admitted that its legal to proceed even if there is zero visibility. Oooops. I was wrong if I said that. I suspect that I said that it might be more dangerous to allow the speed to drop below the point where a vessel can maintain steerage. You stated in no uncertain terms that traffic proceeds in the Channel at 12 knots even in thick fog. I cited a recent case where 10 knots was not considered a factor in a collision in zero visibility. Farwell's says "A ship that is making proper use of radar in, say, the open ocean, cannot be realistically expected to take all way off when the fog becomes so dense that it is not possible to see beyond its bows." Further, although you might be able to claim that the strict wording of the ColRegs implies any movement in thick fog is imprudent, that is not the current interpretation of the courts. And, as we now all know, the courts effectively modify the ColRegs. And what's this "Oooops" business? Now you're flip flopping on this issue again with just an "Oooops"? After all the **** you've been giving me when you know I didn't mean what you claim? You're a real piece of work, Donal, a real asshole! Further, this stupid reply is to a post 9 days ago!!! What, have you been stewing about this for 9 days and you now think you have some intelligent to add? I don't think so. You've insisted that a lookout must be posted, and I've agreed wholeheartedly. My only point has been that in the absence of visual input the helmsman is relying primarily on radar. Nonsense! Your initial argument was that Joe was correct in his assertion that navigating under Radar alone was acceptable. Do you want me to post your words again? No, when you post them you keep leaving out "Of course, one should always have a visual (and sound) watch". Why is that? Is it because you are a cowardly liar? Everyone else has no trouble understanding my words. Its only cowardly liars that don't. I did imply that in zero visibility, the helmsman is effectively navigating on radar alone. And there must also be a visual lookout. And we know that the lookout cannot be the same person as the helmsman - The reason is that the helmsman must focus on the radar and compass, and therefore cannot serve as the lookout. Why is this so complicated for you to understand? If you want to make a case that Joe implied the lookout is not needed, feel free; I would agree that that is wrong. I suggest you give it up Donal, you've convinced everyone that you are a cowardly liar and a fool. You really can't sink any lower without imitating Jax. Are you arguing simply with my choice of words? If you think "virtually all of its info" or "essentially on radar alone" are not proper ways to say it I might concede the point just to end this silly discussion. Would you accept the wording of the CollRegs? I sense a grade school argument coming on .... Or are you claiming that the helmsman must rely primarily on visual input, even in limited visibility? If this is your point, I think you need to go back to your class. Tell us what the CollRegs say. Then tell us why your opinion outweighs the CollRegs. I was right; Donal, the fool is using his kindergarten logic again. Sad, truely sad. Or are you simply saying that its OK to do rely primarily on radar, but 25 knots is simply too fast? To this I would claim, it depends on the situation. It doesn't depend on the situation. You either accept the CollRegs, or you don't. I've asked this question several times - you seem to keep changing your answer. Do you beleive that all traffic must stop in thick fog? If your answer is yes, why do you think the courts have ruled otherwise? You keep making this vague claim that its all in the ColRegs - you even claimed at one point the ColRegs might have specific speed limits. Perhaps you could show us where that is. You keep implying that "Safe Speed" is determined by visibility alone; Rule 6(b) is pretty clear that radar equipment will change that determination. I said many times that I couldn't address Joe's situation, but I know of a number of runs where 7 to 14 knots is considered acceptable in the fog, and I suspect that some go 35 knots or more away from land. Since the HSC is largely closed to recreational boats, 25 knots may be accepted there. So if you have a point here, please state it, and stop lying about what I've said. Please stop calling me a liar. Just because somebody disagrees with you does not automatically mean that they are a liar. It *is* possible that you might be wrong. I'm wrong? What part of "Of course, one should always have a visual (and sound) watch" implies that I don't think there should be a lookout? I don't call you a liar because you're wrong, I call you a liar because you continue to misrepresent what I said. Frankly, I have no idea what you are trying to claim other than a lookout is needed, and I not sure anyone has disagreed with that. Mind you, I never said the Joe's hypothetical actions were OK, I only said that if you have a visual lookout, navigating effectively on radar alone is not necessarily prohibited by the rules. I presented a number of court rulings, investigations, and the standard textbook to support my case. What have you done? You've repeatedly lied about my position, but you've never actually stated what your position is, other than claiming that yours is supported by the ColRegs, and anyone that disagrees with you obviously doesn't believe in the rules. Get some rest, Donal. See a professional. Maybe get some medication - this all seems to be too much for you. |

"Jeff Morris" wrote in message ... "Donal" wrote in message ... Saying "they have no business being there" or "they shouldn't be there" is not the same as claiming its illegal or prohibited. This is all your fantasy! So, could you explain, in practical terms what " they have no business being there" actually means? Everyone, including you and Rick have agreed that it is probably foolish and foolhardy. It has been generally agreed its not prudent. For the same reasons I said "he has no business being there. The only issue you and Rick raised is that in might be violating ColRegs until there is actually an incident. I think it does violate rule 2 and likely rule 5, but there is no way of proving that. I think that it is time that we started a new thread about this. See "New thread". Regards Donal. -- |

Naughty Jeff. Very, very naughty! What you actually said was :- "So where in the Colregs does it say you can't run on radar alone? " That was a really stupid thing to write! Really! I am amazed that you still want to bring it up. Why don't you realise that I will forget it as soon as you stop mentioning it? I don't bear grudges. I respond to each post as I read them. You seem to be taking something personally. I am unaware of what the real issue is.

"Donal" wrote in message ... Naughty Jeff. Very, very naughty! What you actually said was :- "So where in the Colregs does it say you can't run on radar alone? " That was a really stupid thing to write! Really! No that was a retorical question. It seems it was well beyond your limtied comprehension. In the very next sentence I said a looout was required. The complete paragraph was: "So where in the Colregs does it say you can't run on radar alone? Of course, one should always have a visual (and sound) watch, but that is moot if there is effectively zero visibility. And yet many vessels maintain their normal schedule in thick fog." Since it is obvious that you have been misrepresenting my statement over and over, I think you owe me a rather large large apology. Otherwise you are just admitting that you're a scumbag of the lowest order, in addition to being a coward liar! No go away until you're ready to admit that you've been wrong. Or just go away. |

" That was a really stupid thing to write! Really! No that was a retorical question. It seems it was well beyond your limtied comprehension. In the very next sentence I said a looout was required. let's define lookout so Lanod can understand: Someone who looks out. How can a lookout do a proper job when he can not see his own bow without help? Answer: He uses radar if he has it. Or he uses his yachtmaster physic viewing skills that allows him to peer thru the fog and any hull. Infact lanod this is allowing him to see the future of a person without viewing skills and change it. Very mystic indeed. Lanod, I'm going to get flir myself, its like a pool of smokey water that clears. This most mystical eye allows you to pierce any vail that clokes you. You just have to know the juju.
