One more point - although Neal keeps claiming that not having a
lookout is "illegal." As far as I know, there is no "law" that says
you must follow the ColRegs in international water. That is, there is
no penalty for failing to comply, unless that failure leads to an
accident. In inland waters, that is not the case - you can be
penalized for not having proper lights, etc.



Bwahahahahhahahahahhahaha!
Did you know the Coast Guard can, does and will write a
citation for not displaying an anchor light if anchored
in international waters? (outside of a few designated anchorages, that is.)


No, they don't. They may do it outside the Colregs line, but not in
international waters.
