You need look no further than the first sentence to see the applicability:

If the slip is in waters connected to the sea, they are applicable. I'll admit
the my logic is strained, .

But I appreciate that you're still reading this.


Yes, it does seem to be getting a bit pendantic, consider, is a slip navigable
waters? Perhaps we should debate the number of angels per pin head (I'm not talking
about Bob, tho' he can use all the help he can get).
