Nowhere does the article report anything you state it does after the "under
power". In fact, the author seems to think that the tugboat captain acted
with great professionalism and even courage. I'm sure David Taylor would be
no more amused at your putting words into his mouth and attributing such
thoughts to him without basis than I was when you did it to me. I'll find
out the next time I see him.

Coastal Pilot says you use everything you have (including radio) to
avoid collision circumstances.

Ok, so you guys read charts.
Anybody EVER refer to the Coastal Pilot?

Just curious...

If you mean the Coast Pilot, the answer is yes. I not only refer to it, I
occasionally read the general chapters, and chapters for my usual sailing areas
front to back like a book.

Yeah, thats the one.
