My definition does not matter as the definition of a proper lookout is
defined by Rule 5, itself.

Why can't people understand plain English anymore?

Here's your lesson for today. Study it hard and
please forego the spirits.

Rule 5
Look-out
"Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper
look-out by sight as well as by hearing as well
as by all available means appropriate in the
prevailing circumstances and conditions so
as to make a full appraisal of the situation
and of the risk of collision."

Be so kind as to allow me to re-state it so even
someone who likes pilothouses might understand.

"A proper look-out is defined by every vessel
at all times maintaining a look-out by sight as
well as by hearing as well as by all available
means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances
and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of
the situation and of the risk of collision."

I hope this helps.

OK Crappy,

Guess I'll have to ask you for YOUR explanation of proper look-out by
sight and hearing at all times?
