Is he right, ... or is he wrong?


I read it. It says that if I look/listen and see boats all around me
close
aboard then I need to maintain constant lookout. OTOH, if there is
nothing
between me an the 20-mile horizon I can sack out for an hour or so.
Right?

How do you get a "20 mile horizon"?

Climb the friggin' mast..... like I do!
