Ok... nobody seems to have gotten it... how about the
Emergency Check-off
List... it has to be posted, not just aboard.


What the heck happened to the "freedom of the seas"?

You claim to be a democracy, and yet you won't let a man
get into his boat
to do a bit of sailing without an "Emergency Check-off
List"?

There was more freedom under Stalin(if you didn't go
outside the 12 mile
limit).


Calm down Donut! Ganz is talking about a Capt. with paying
passengers, not just some schmuck out for a daysail.

Ahhh... Perhaps I am becoming a little paranoid.

Over here, we now need to have a written passage plan before we sail
offshore.

This Passage Plan *must* include such things as your Course to Steer, a
weather forecast, and a Risk Assessment that takes into account the skills
of your crew!!!


Nobody on deck may be under the influence of alcohol. The limits that apply
to car drivers who travel in close proximity at 70mph, also apply to sailors
who travel at 5kts in the wide open spaces of the seas.

Did you move to Russia? What the heck happened to the
"freedom of the seas"?

You claim to be a democracy, and yet you won't let a man get
into his boat
to do a bit of sailing without a ''Passage Plan'' with Risk
ASSessment'' ?

There was more freedom under Hitler!

Yup!

That's the way that the world is going.

I'd prefer to live under Franco than under Blair.


Personal Freedom used to be something that politicians felt able to defend.


Nowadays, they seem to pander to the whims of the unemployed.

It seems that ''Homeland Security'' is trying to turn our
Coast Guard into their SS Gestapo.
