Dangerous Maga-yacht in Maine

We do use whistle signals but they don't agree with your "pass on two whistles". You will also hear things like "Let's meet on two whistles", meaning starboard-to-starboard. Is that an inland US rules thing? Not sure but it is quite possible. I hear captains and harbor pilots using similar terminology all up and down the east coast of the US. I have also heard colors used as in "lets pass red-to-red meaning a normal "one whistle" port-to-port" pass in an oncoming situation, or something like "I'll pass on your red side", or, "I'll show you my green light", that sort of thing. A lot of these guys in major harbors seem to have known each other for years and probably develop a common working vocabulary. |
