of the coast and outlaying islands are outside the ColRegs line.


Sooooo ... your ColRegs are nothing to do with the "**International**
Regulations for the prevention of Collisions at Sea"????

Wrong, our ColRegs *are* the "Convention on the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea," I assume identical to
yours. The US also exercised its prerogative to create a slightly
modified version for use in Inland Waters.

Ahh... Now I think that I understand.

Your use of the word "outside" led me to think of "further offshore", when
you were referring to the waters "inshore" of the CollRegs line.

My mistake.
