Granted the guy/gal was probably just a bone head. But nothing much has
een said about any dayshapses, lights or audible signals that were or
were not present.


Making assumptions again... probably weren't any...

Really? We travel the ICW from Baltimore south to Charleston several
times a year, and see day shapes all the time. They're not common on
private vessels, but all the bouy tenders & dredges show them... some of
the tugs use little tiny ones that you can't see unless you're already
'way 'way too close.



What Matt eventually detailed was a bone head maneuver on the part of
a tour boat operator who had pudding for brains.

Agreed... actually, it sounds like pudding would be an improvement over
what that tour boat operator has for brains...
