As expected, just another typical diatribe which in no way addresses the
issues at hand.
Admit it SS .... you can't answer the question about the tug.
As for time on your boat counting for renewal ..... sorry .....doesn't
..... your license is for a powerdriven vessel of a certain tonnage ....
you sure you still have that license? Didn't let it lapse didja?

Still don't know what "impede" refers to, do ya? Ah well, don't despair,
you don't understand the rest of the rules either, so at least you're
consistent.

I won't have to retake any test questions but even if I
did it would be no problem because I know all the answers
by virtue of my superior understanding of the COLREGS.

What you have yet to learn is a superior understanding of
the Rules comes only after years of study and years of
practical application in a small sailing vessel. Sitting in
a wheelhouse on some big ship sheltered from the wind,
the waves, normal ocean sounds and sights simply gives
you a case of the 'armchair motorboater's syndrome"
which results in impaired sensory input, impaired reaction,
impaired application of the Rules and impaired responsibility.

Being on the receiving end of motorboater ignorance and
arrogance of which you, Shen44, and Jeff Morris display
and abundance, is the best way to learn the ins and outs of
the Rules provided one can survive your attempts to run
us down. I have survived and I shall continue to survive and
learn. I welcome all your displays of ignorance because they
allow me to become stronger and safer since I know how
the levels of ignorance upon which you all proceed impair
your judgment and required action.

I realize you three don't have a clue what 'shall not impede'
means because you have proven you are all clueless.

I realize you will persist in impeding vessels you are supposed
to give a wide berth in any condition of visibility and this makes
you all the more dangerous in restricted visibility. I know your
pride does not allow you to believe that motorboats must
give way to any and all vessels signaling one prolonged/two
short blasts in a fog. I know you will wrongly interpret the
Rules so you will end up violating them by creating a close
quarters situation in your ignorance.

Thank God I know all this or I would have been run down
by your like years ago.
