What I find interseting...
Wait for 'her' to use the term 'pecking order'. That'll clinch it...

The problem is not my understanding of the examples.
The problem is that your blond scatterbrain cannot focus on the issue
nor
does it understand the potential dangers involved in towing, be it a
designated towing vessel or a recreational craft..... your response as
to
what a "towing vessel" can or can not do show that.
Let me state some points, then I'll end this nonsense.
1. A towing vessel is not automatically RAM
2. "A vessel engaged in towing" could be a commercial vessel or a
recreational vessel.
3. Since the average recreational vessel does not have the day shapes or
light signals to designate RAM, this does not mean you can ignore that
possibility he is RAM, while towing.... to do so means you don't know or
understand Rule 2.
4. If you don't think a small underpowered pram towing a 26' boat is
more
than likely "severely restricted" under all but the best conditions (if
then), then you don't understand the potential dangers of towing and
it's
highly unlikely you can apply these dangers to other vessel
configurations.
In Scotty's case, he did not know the other vessel was towing until he
had passed ahead and I took his questions to be "hypothetical", where he
was trying to think of all the possibilities....rule-wise.... that may
have existed for this incident.

BG Limited maybe so. But you still don't understand why they
put those examples of
RAM boats in that rule. I'll tell you so listen. Here's a Q tip. Get
that wax outta your ears. Wipe that smirk off your face. I'm not ready
to give up on you yet.
They put those examples in there so everybody would be able to
understand what's meant
by *severe* and *unable*. They are defining those words. They're
examples of what the rule says. Mind pictures. You could think of
other examples. That's why they said not limited to. But any other
examples you think of have to be similar. IOW just as severe and just
as unable.
Your example isn't anyway near it. It's totally NOT similar. It's
a joke. Well intended but
*severely unable* to make your point. :-))))))
BFG I proved you made a mistake. Why not be a man and admit it?
I'm amazed you can be
driving big ships around without fully understanding simple rules.
Even when the rule's written so any old retard can understand it.
Even when I tell you twice why they put the examples in there. Duh!
(You and Jeff brothers?)
Cri-men-ny, otn your hopeless/you really are. Typical bull headed
man..... Stubborn ,obstinate,
self-righteous! Oh! And smug. I'd like to smack ya. BBG (that's
big blonde grin)
Cheers,
