jeffies, this has been discussed before and the problem it seems is that you
don't understand what the English word "command" means in relation to a
documented vessel, as the word is understood by the US Congress.

First of all, jaxie doesn't understand the rules. His claim that a
citizen
must
be on documented vessels at all times is completely bogus. It may be true
for
commercial fishing vessels, but not for recreational boats.

jeffies is wrong on this, and it has been argued before. Again, I say.
jeffies is dead wrong on this.

You've made this claim before but never substantiated it. Its pretty easy to
find the regs that require Fishing vessels to be command by citizens; why
can't
you find the regs that apply to recreational vessels?


US documentation has been lost on recreational vessels found to being
operating
by a non-citizen with not citizens onboard and in command.

So, you're claiming that non-citzens can't charter a documented vessel in US
waters? I should be pretty easy to find a rule about that - how about it
jaxie?
