Come on Neal, give it a woil .... at least try one of your "out of context"
babbling sessions on it and forget the RAM ploy, cause that doesn't work with
anyone.


RAM ploy? Haaaa ha hahah h a hahahahahahha ha h! You are the
one with the ploy in your lame attempt to try to make me believe
a lie so I might look foolish. It won't work.

A motorboat towing sounds the signal of a motor vessel unless
the motorboat towing is restricted in its ability to maneuver (RAM).

The only time a vessel towing is allow to sound the one prolonged/
two short blasts fog signal is if the towboat is a RAM. If and only
if the towboat is showing lights or shapes of a RAM can it sound
the signal of a RAM. (legally speaking that is - you in your ignorance
might feel differently and have probably done differently.)

This makes no difference in the abbreviated pecking order
which I have written about and which, in fact, exists by virtue
of the shall not impede clause of Rule 8.

The fact still remains that vessels sounding the one prolong blast
fog signal or even the two prolonged blast fog signal must not impede
any vessel sounding the one prolonged/two short blast fog signal.

The Rules require it.
