Joe,

You're always in a fog.


Not so! But if I were, I could still do a job. Unlike you and Donal.
My boat would be employed while your would be let go first. I would
study and perfect my skills at getting the job done safely, while you
would be dead in the water afraid to move.

Donal was right. You failed to comply with the rule
that states you must slow down to a safe speed in
restricted visibility. 25 knots is not a safe speed
in restricted visibility and is a direct violation of
the Rules.

Bull****. 20 knots in fog using the proper aids to navigation is not
unsafe.

Think Radar! Think Radio!

What about 20 knots on a pitch black dark night, guess thats unsafe to.

A yacht's lights are easier to see on a pitch black night than on a moonlit
night. However, in thick fog, you can't see anything!

What about a tree trunk the size of a car? Any running lights on it,
How about a bouy, not all are lit. Hows about the typical weekend
warrior who forgot to turn on his running lights, hows about a rocky
jettie, how about a tow line and the million other things you can not
see on a pitch black night?




I got news for you Neal, real captains do it all the time.


That is really scary!

To a lubber like you I imagine it is. Bet you would **** your pants
if you ever landed on a airplane in the fog two. But 100's of them do
it every day.

Regards,

Joe
