Why did the Coast Guard captain not turn to port to avoid the collision?


Should have slowed down, sounded the danger signal and turned to starboard.
That's what the COLREGS required of him.

But since the Coast Guard passes out Captain's licenses to known and
admitted recreational drug abusers who knows what kind of a bogus captain
was at the helm of the CG vessel?

Dang, that was a good response.

Shame you continued with blathering.

Because he should have turned to starboard? He should have done something....
