Terry,

This has been amazingly amuzing, shall we divert this here to a new case?

Billy is fishing from his drifting jetski (or what ever) and a sailboat
with no sails is approaching with no change in bearing. He is not
worried because he can see smoke at he transom. After all he is fishing
so the sailboat is the burden vessel here.

What little Billy has not bothered to notice is the the line (he calls it
rope) that is drifting in front of the sailboat.

He is also absolutely certain that Colregs part 3.d means that he has no
requirement to avoid the closing vessel. If you can only read one line
at time, it might be an honest mistake.

Questions:
1 - What is proper way for the anchored ketch to avoid a collision.
2 - Why is there no standing lookout in a part 202.50 anchorage?
3 - Who is tending the barbaque? (instead of watching for boats drifting
into the anchorage?

Matt Colie


That's "barbeque", Billy.

I bet we could go on and on, but well,,, (Yawn) nawwww...

I would just let him get close, then spray him with gasoline from my legal
fire arm garden sprayer, or give him a "backside" from the poop cannon,
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk...

(b) The term "power-driven vessel" means any vessel propelled by
machinery.

And your motor is not propelling machinery?

Try reading (b) again.



And your motor is not propelling machinery? I guess a power boat like
mine is not a power boat when the motor is turned off or not in gear. So
you hit a drift fishing "Power boat" who has his motor off or in not in
gear, who is at fault.

Billy. How old are you? Is it time for school yet? When a bicycle runs
into a parked car who is at fault?


If in California the car may be at fault.
Let's ask the question about bikes and pedestrians. Refer to California.
1)You are driving down the street and a bike is coming down the other street
and runs the stop sign and you collide. Who is at fault?

2)You are driving down the street and a bike is coming down the other street
on the side walk and runs the stop sign and you collide. Who is at fault?

3) You are driving down the street and a pedestrian runs out from between 2
cars and you collide. Who is at fault?


I don't know anything about California law but I know the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at sea. You don't.

Better do a little research.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I'd tell Bill to get a clue, but he couldn't manage that if it was
stuck to his forehead with duct tape.

He is an incompetant master and pilot, and is only trying to project
that he has a 100 ton license.

own PWC's.
Agreed... they keep them on their yacht (s).

I especially like the shot of the two Yami's sitting

Octopus.


you didn't answer my question.

Because you haven't asked *ME* anything....

Here's a hint, look for the sentence preceding the question mark.

I don't know about that - I'm not, didn't keep up the dues

my life is already pretty full with the day job, wife, kids,

not in

Dare I ask, then why do you own a PWC?

Easy one, Scotty. He hasn't the money for anything that goes faster and
weighs more, and he hasn't the skill, or patience to obtain the skill,
to use a sailboat.

Clearly, you're not one of them.

Which point would you like to wager on... wealth or intelligence? Perhaps
both?

In your case, it's obvious which you lack.

CLEARLY you attempt to state facts when you don't even have the first clue.
Or as they say, you know not of what you speak.

Tis a shame.

Give me a break. This is Usenet.

I'd rather talk about sailing. I'm sure you're an expert when it comes
to colliding bikes and cars.

Well, since you have already proved you are unknowing in the rules of road,
regards sailboats, I am going to ignore you from now on. And when you get
in an accident with your ideas of right of way, and I see a report, I will
just have them google up your idiocy.

Ah, I get it Peter... he's just a troll. Not too bright either.
