So what if you are sailing on a lake and nobody else is on the
lake....
would you have to keep a "proper look-out?
Let me answer Mooron.

Yes I would

Well since there is only one vessel on the lake in this scenario.... would
you be updating that apprasial on a constant basis? Would you be maintaining
a proper look-out at all times?

Exactly. If we condense Rule 5 by removing the specifics of what sort of
look-out is to be kept, its true meaning can be discerned...

Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out ... so as
to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision.

IOW, a proper look-out is defined as that which allows the sailor to
ascertain "a full appraisal appraisal of the situation and of the risk of
collision". It is that look-out which is sufficient to acheive this. It is
not, as Captain Crow Pie falsely claims, maintaining a constant vigil by
constantly spinning in one's cockpit in a perpetual scan of the horizon, or
perhaps by growing eyes in the back of one's head in the hope of attaining
360-degree vision. One can only assume that the aforementioned captain does
not blink...

Stupid thing to say, Wally. What if a submarine surfaces right in front
of you ten seconds after you have scanned the horizon and thought
all was well so you went below to take a ten-minute nap?

Like our resident wannabe barrister, Jeffypoo, loves to say
'Assumptions shall not be made on the basis of scanty information . . ."

Would that be needed to makes a full appraisal of

If so I would, If not....then no.

How the hell do you keep a watch for submarines?

By following Rule 5 and all of Rule 5 and not ignoring any of

Your logic and reasoning leaves a lot to be desired, but . . .

I'll say one good thing about you, Wally. You know the right
color to paint a sloop.

Did you have Ole Thom design those end plates on the keel?

Nonsense. Your criteria for 'maintaining a watch at all times' is not
humanly possible - it requires 360 degree vision and eyes that don't blink.
If you are willing to admit less of a watch than this, then the difference
is one of degrees, which lays open the question of: to what degree is less
of a watch acceptable?

That's the original gelcoat.

There are no end plates on the keel, it has an elongated, teardrop-shaped
bulb at the bottom.
