He only served 37 years. 😄 When I went in, I wanted my runway to stay where I left it, not wandering around the ocean. 😄 Edited January 21, 2019 by SRF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO YES but what did the rules say ..... hmm I'll make that a quiz question for you (as I did nightly in my night orders) hint ... start with 9b I used to sail a 22 ft sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay. In theory, if I was under sail, I had the right of way. However, when there was a large freighter and me, I avoided him regardless of what the right of way rules might say.

I guess that is what you might also call the "common sense rule". We always followed it in spite of the fact that I did not know that the exact rule existed.

Capt_BJ Posted January 25, 2019 #64 Share Posted January 25, 2019 and to come back to my point it is up to the courts to decide which rule takes precedence ..... YOU might think the answer is OBVIOUS but this may NOT be the path the courts have taken ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
