Rick I'm surprised at your attitude. In the narrow question
of whether something is legal or not, of course, it's "legal."
That doesn't mean that is the last word on the subject, nor
does it mean that there are circumstances where a seemingly
legal act could be actionable by the CG to prevent problems.

It seems to me that by claiming a couple of posts in the dozens
made by you is blustering, etc., and calling me names, you've
made the case quite eloquently that you can't defend your position.
I have not obfuscated one single thing in any of my posts. If you
think I'm wrong, you can simply ignore me, or, if you're game,
talk to a CG office and see what they say.

Rick asked:

Is it legal for a kayak to use the navigable waters in
accordance with COLREGS and/or VTS?

And stated:

All it takes is a simple one word answer that will
immediately be seen as correct or abysmally wrong. Anything
else attached or amended is opinion, blustering, and
righteous indignation.

To which Ganz replied:

The answer is... doesn't matter! The issue for the CG
is whether or not they decide its safe.

So that bit of opinion, blustering, righteous indignation,
and bickering pretty much wraps this up.

Your answer would make Jax or Nil extremely proud that they
have an apprentice in the seedy business of obfuscation and
evasive responses to simple questions.
