Taking all way off is only necessary if the motor vessel
fails in its obligation to stay clear of the sailboat. To
further compound its violation of the Rules only an
idiot motor boat operator would come to a stop right
in the path of a sailboat.
If he's in fog and can't see the sailboat, how does he know he's stopped in
the
path of the sailboat?
He's got radar, he's got the bearing from the sound signal. He
has plotted a course. Get serious, Shen.
ROFL Haven't done much fog work I see .... We're not talking about motorboat
with radar, necessarily.
A sound signal can be highly distorted in bearing and there is no way you can
get an accurate bearing of a vessel (EG unless he's on top of you) in fog
from that sound ..... so, no course plotted .... no radar, no way to do so
...... sooooo......
A tough question for Jeff and Shen44
