Re: A solution for derelict boats!

I’m not a lawyer. But this is probably a 4th amendment violation. Unless the state is a ‘stop and ID’ state, it is illegal to demand the IDs of anyone ‘unless the police have ‘reasonable,...

Re: Day Shapes while Anchoring

You mention the vessel length. But not specifically where you were operating. It matters in the discussion. Inland or International?

Re: Day Shapes while Anchoring

Good thing Colregs isn’t followed. Or understood. That explains why so many people ask: Why should I? Or I can’t find the answer!

Read ALL the Rule 30 colregs. All the way to the very...

Re: Rules of the road - entering a channel

Rule 18.

And to clarify. US inland applies INSHORE of the Colregs line. Not outside as you mentioned.

Re: Rules of the road - entering a channel

Then look in Colregs in US Inland and please find the 'constrained by draft' reference. Rule 18. Knowing that both these examples have occurred INSIDE, under Inland rules.

There is implied...

mow2000: Were you going from marker 2 to Mattox Cr or Munroe Cr? Were you going from Marker 2 to one as you originally posted? Where did the offending powerboat come from?

No that is not what he said. He was inferring in relation to other comments.

The reference was in relation to where the powerboat was going/coming from, in reference to where good water was. I...

Re: Rules of the road - entering a channel

Luckily for both the OP and the follow on Q, neither vessel being described was in International waters. Nor does the concept of 'Constrained by Draft' enter into the conversation.

Re: Rules of the road - entering a channel

Your destination does not matter. If during the course of your voyage you must turn to port (which makes a vessel appear on your stbd) then you violated Colregs. Your alternative would be to...

Re: Bow wants to point downwind

Yes, boats fall off to leeward and lie beam too. Next time, after youre moored; look at the wheel. Is it hard over? I would think the stern way as you fell back on the mooring helped her swing...

Re: Black spots all over boat in marina; do I have any recourse? How to clean?

I’d concur that a maladjusted ‘skippy shipmate’ diesel cabin heater is a likely cause. If they aren’t adjusted (air to fuel) mixture they can billow out soot like this. It’s a pita to get...
